Agreement travelled beyond the noun.

In Swahili, a noun class shapes words across the sentence. Conversation practice lets you hear that pattern as one message instead of several separate rules.

Work from the verb outward, adding subject, tense and object markers while keeping the sentence useful enough to say again tomorrow.

Tell Chicky where to start

Let's practise a Swahili introduction and a few follow-up questions. Help me notice noun-class agreement while keeping the exchange natural.

Change the scene, the level or the correction focus whenever you want. The tutor follows the new brief.

Give your Swahili a real situation.

Choose a scene you may actually meet this week. A real situation gives you words you can reuse.

  1. 01Greet a new colleague and introduce yourself
  2. 02Ask for a route across town
  3. 03Buy several items at a market
  4. 04Make plans with a group of friends

Fix the sentence while it is still fresh.

You hear the better sentence while your own answer is still fresh, then use it again.

  1. Answer

    Say what you can, even when the sentence is not finished.

  2. Repair

    Ask for help or get one focused correction on the useful part.

  3. Continue

    Say the better sentence, then take the next turn.
