It looks like I'm going to be spending about 4 hours a week working on my Kiswahili before I leave in September. It's not a requirement for PCVs to know the language before training but I feel like I could use a little boost to get me started. I contacted Catholic Charities looking for someone who could speak the language natively which was an idea my Los Monitos Spanish teacher had. It took about a week but I got a call today from someone willing to help me out! We are going to be meeting Monday and Friday mornings from now until September (I hope!).
Kwaheri!
