Malaika, that was so exciting! I really enjoyed the lesson. You have quite a sharp memory. . I highly recommend Malaika, she's professional, and very intelligent.

    Thanks for the great ideas! I especially like the little tip of sitting near the cashier (if there is one) to overhear some candid interactions. I'm fortunate to have plenty of local contacts but it would definitely be cool to sit in on a local class of some kind if possible! It might be too much of a distraction but maybe I could sit in on a high school class.

    I’m traveling to a place where my target language is spoken, not creating an immersion experience at home. I’ll have two weeks and I’m at an intermediate-high level.

    immersion ideas

    What are your ideas about how to make the most of an immersion experience?

    I'm thinking that playing games, talking to kids, and going on scavenger hunts might be helpful...

    How to make the most of learning from a native speaker

    I'm learning a minority language for which there are few resources available and no native speakers in my area. Later this week I'll have 3 days with a native speaker. Any ideas about how to make the most of this opportunity? Ideas about games we could play? I'm at a stage of learning this language where I'm working on building core vocabulary and figuring out the grammar. I can have limited conversation in writing but spoken conversation is much more difficult.

    Any thoughts are welcome!

    hadithi nzuri, nimefurahi kuisoma. 


    Umetumia maneno machache sitambui, kama "nyie mko" na "sie." Tafsiri maneno haya, tafadhali?

    wasemaji wa kiswahili ama gikuyu!

    Ninatafuta wasemaji was Kiswahili na gikuyu nchini marekani. Kama unajifunza Kiswahili pia labda tutasaidiana. Ukiwa mwafrika asemaye Kiswahili na unataka kuboresha Kiingereza chako, hasa matamshi na ufasaha zako, nitaweza kukusaida. Nimeshapata mwalimu wa Kiswahili, sitafuti mwingine kwa sasa. 


    Pia ninajifunza lugha ya Gikuyu. Ndĩ na arata aingĩ bũrũrĩ wa Kenya na ndirĩ nao gũkũ. Ingĩkũrĩha kũnduta.

    This seems correct to me. You could also get rid of "with whom" altogether and say "I am looking for a friend to study English with."

    (Many English speakers actually don't know how to use whom "correctly" anyway and just think that it sounds formal, which is good in an academic context but not important in most other contexts.)

    April, is that little (Khi) at the end of that except referring to the language the word was borrowed from? I've come across some etymology lists that use abbreviations like that but I don't actually know what languages they represent. Does the book include a key or something like that? 

    I don't have a monolingual dictionary but I should probably get one. 

    These are a couple that I use frequently when I come across unfamiliar words. There aren't a ton of example sentences, however.
