Swahili, spoken by about 200 million people in Tanzania, Kenya, northern Mozambique, southwestern Somalia, Northwest Madagascar and the Comoros Islands, is a Bantu, Afro-Arab and Comorian language.

Swahili words were learned inadvertently by English speaker's who watched Disney's The Lion King (i.e. Rafiki = Friend, Simba = Lion, Hakuna Matata, etc...), but the language has a rich history of fun and wisdom filled proverbs.

We will be posting some of our favorite proverbs and encouraging discussion.
