"Ninataka kujil'unza ki Swahili (I
want to learn Swahili)," was the wish of
several UNL students that prompted the
start of a new language course this semes
ter. Robert Mushi, a UNL graduate student
from Tanzania who is working on his
doctorate in agronomy, said many people
approached him last semester with their
desire to learn Swahili. Swahili is the
national language of such countries as Tan
zania, Uganda and Sudan. Most of these
people previously had visited parts of
Africa and had an interest in learning a
new and different language.
"Some people knew I
spoke Swahili and told me they wished
to learn how," Mushi said. "Then I went
to IKS (International Educational Ser
vices) and told them about my idea of
starting a Swahili class." They liked it.
The Swahili class is open to any UNL
student or faculty member, and is free be
cause it is not an official UNL course. The
class meets in the East Campus Union
from 3 :30 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays.
Although about 32 students attended
the class at first, only about 16 people
arc taking the class now, Mushi said.
Most of the students enrolled are
from foreign countries, but about seven
are Americans who have never spoken
anything like Swahili before, he said.
"Swahili is a very easy language to
learn," Mushi said. "It only takes a per
son about six weeks of lessons before he
can speak it." The language is derived from
various other languages, including Spanish
and Arabic, and has influenced the English
language by adding words, such as safari,
he said.
More than 100 forms of the Swahili
language are spoken; Mushi is fluent in
four of the dialects.
"I'll continue to teach the class until
the students can speak it well," he said.
"It's all voluntary on both their part and
mine; they want to learn and I want to
teach them."
