Learn Swahili in Dar es Salaam

Hi everyone,

We have added an overview of course contents: the things you might expect to learn if you take up Swahili lessons. Of course, these are very flexible as all lessons are private, and if you have any particular things you want to learn we are happy to provide lessons and study materials to fit your needs.

Have a look and see what you think!

Best wishes,

Jeremiah and Peter

Some Swahili students who took classes with Jeremiah have added testimonials. Go take a look!

Jeremiah and I would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a great festive season. Happy December everyone!

Kila la heri,

Hi everyone,

We’ve updated the site to make it easier for you to find what you need. We’re also working on getting some more testimonials up.

If you’re reading this and have a Swahili website of your own, get in touch! We’re always looking for websites to collaborate with.

Hi everyone,

We’ve reduced our prices slightly, have a look here. If you like what you read here on the website but are not comfortable with the price, please do get in touch to let us know. Depending on your situation we can always discuss the possibilities. Especially travel distance for Jeremiah, the number of students in a class, and the frequency of classes play a major role in setting the price, so do get in touch with us. And remember, you get private Swahili lessons at your house, which is quite an advantage over having to travel yourself for a Swahili course in a big class!

Happy studying,

Jeremiah and Peter

Hello everybody! Dar has cooled down a little and the scorching first few months of the year have passed. If you just arrived in Dar es Salaam or Tanzania and want to start learning Swahili, now is as good a time as any! Get in touch to start your Swahili course or individual lessons. We’ll make sure to respond quickly so that you can start your lessons soon!

In true internet tradition, here are our top 5 reasons to take Swahili classes with Jeremiah, rather than at a big language school!

1. Expertise. Jeremiah is a highly qualified, patient, and extremely helpful teacher, who feels personally responsible for his Swahili students
2. Transparency. We are fully transparent in our prices and in what we offer. You pay per session, with no advance payments. Paying per session allows you to quit at any time, or defer lessons to go travelling, or change the number of hours a week, without having to fear loosing money. Advance payments are a requirement of virtually every language school in Dar and surroundings (example).
3. Private lessons. You sign up by yourself, or with friends/partner, and Jeremiah will come to your place. This means no big classrooms, no hours of travelling for you, and Swahili class at a time that suit you.
4. Competitive prices. The company is just Jeremiah (and Peter helping with the technical stuff). So no mother companies, overhead costs, or whatever other costs big language schools have to include in their fees.
5. Tailor-made. Whether you need a couple of classes in a few days, or 1 or 2 classes a week for 5 months (as Peter did), it’s all possible. So you’re not stuck in the format a language school wants you in. You just discuss your needs with us and we’ll work around your (and Jeremiah’s) schedule! Wouldn’t want to miss the big migration in the Serengeti because you’ve paid for 6 straight weeks of language school…

Maybe most importantly: I (Peter) was always very much looking forward to my Swahili classes with Jeremiah, even after 5 months! So get in touch now, we’d love to hear from you. Or read some testimonials if you’re one of those types that needs more convincing

Price update:

We’ve updated the prices, as the Tanzanian shilling remains volatile. Check them out here. We’ve now included prices in dollars. Feel free to pay in either currency, whichever you prefer. Do get some people together to start a Swahili class, it’ll save you all some money And definitely go for 2-hour classes, it’s much more efficient both for you and for Jeremiah, as he has to travel all the way to wherever you live in Dar es Salaam!

Hi everybody, it’s been a while since our last update.

There’s still a lot of interest in Swahili classes from Jeremiah, and we’ve had a number of new students start their Swahili classes. Most students take up lessons once or twice a week, but there’s been interest in a more intensive schedule of lessons. Whatever schedule of Swahili lessons you’re looking for, get in touch and together we can figure something out

We’ll add some more testimonials soon. In the meantime, take a look around to see if Jeremiah is the type of Swahili teacher you’re looking for. Happy studying!

Jeremiah and Peter

Hope everybody has a great 2011!

If you’re in Dar at the moment: enjoy the scorching temperatures and humidity that are January

All the best,

Jeremiah and Peter
