When Michelle and I talk with Tanzanians, we usually get corrected grammatically anywhere from 5 to 10 times about our Swahili. in any given conversation. every. single. day. So, we felt like it was time for Round 2 of language! Over the last two weeks we have been spending 4 hours in the classroom learning how to improve our Swahili from that of a small child to that of a teenager... or so it feels like! 

Picture with our teacher, Godson, on the last day of class.
Yes, we look so tired after 4 hours of studying, but doesn't he just look so happy?!?

The biggest accomplishment came one day when we realized that instead of saying "chakula hii ni tamu sana" we can now say "chakula hiki ni kitamu sana." Okay, read those again. Not many changes at all, but it makes a world of difference here, especially to the Tanzanian ear. 

For those interested in learning Swahili, that phrase means, "this food is very delicious."
