What does that mean? Well, the woman is running. For the last two weeks, I've been trying to put my nose to the grindstone and learn Swahili. Very interesting, to say that least. Aside from the fact that most of the words all look the same and I keep forgetting if I am a mwanamume or a mwanamke, I'm getting there. I mean, I can accurately pronounce 'the boy is under the plane' (mvulana juu ya ndege) and who doesn't use that expression daily?
All I need to do now is master Swahili, so that I will be able to speak with my translator who will translate my Swahili into Maa. Oh yes, there is another language. I know that some of you must be thinking "well, why not just learn Maa?". Excellent question and if there was even a written dictionary in publication out there, I would. I've yet to find many materials to use in learning this language. So, I think that I am on my own pretty much until I get to Arusha. C'est la vie. Oh wait, that's french. I don't know the Swahili version yet.
