    Recommendations on Swahili Learning Material
    Hey :)

    Does anybody have suggestions on where to find good beginner/intermediate material for learning Swahili?

    I recommend the following youtube channels:
    <ul><li>Kiswahili Online Classes: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWhR7rUxVWmbtpilDO1AqCg/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWhR7rUxVWmbtpilDO1AqCg/videos</a></li><li>Language Transfer - Complete Swahili: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J98DEk2acus&list=PLeA5t3dWTWvt5ErpdgPdznCwq3FeFNLim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J98DEk2acus&list=PLeA5t3dWTWvt5ErpdgPdznCwq3FeFNLim</a></li><li>Swahili Fairy Tales: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyveHXy0S5yRZPpC-KzvT4g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyveHXy0S5yRZPpC-KzvT4g</a></li></ul>;

    If you have any recommendations, please let me know :)
    Could be online ressources / books / apps… Anything! :)
    And it’s 100% okay if the material is not instructed in English.

    This is probably not <em>exactly </em>what you asked for but I hope that it will help you anyway :)

    I'm a Dane so I'm of course not learning Danish BUT!!! :)
    I agree with Jan that many Danish words/sounds blend together.. moreover, there's often a quite big gap between how words are spelled and how they're pronounced.

    For this reason, I suggest that you try to stick to material where you have both the written text and an audio file. At least for a period :) (I do that myself when learning other languages because if else, I tend to imagine how words are pronounced and then I don't recognize them when I hear them).

    Where to find a source with both audio and written text? Could be on youtube for example!
    <ul><li>The youtube channel "TV 2 echo" has a lot of short videos with very exact subtitles (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TV2ECHO/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/c/TV2ECHO/videos</a>).</li><li>"Jette Renane" has made a lot of youtube videos for people learning Danish - with both text and sound files (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/JetteRenane/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/JetteRenane/videos</a>).</li></ul>

    You don't need to understand everything in the videos :) the point is that you become more familiar with the gap (or connection ;) ) between written words and pronounciation/intonation :)

    I find it quite natural actually... Depending what the "problem" is ;) many native speakers might for example not know the grammatical rules of the language even though they SPEAK it fluently.

    I think that Babbel is a good app for learning languages :)
    You pay a little for using the app but I think it's WAY (!!!!!) better than duolingo :) I used it a lot to learn German and I'll really recommend it. For example you get a lot of cultural insights and grammatical knowledge which is (due to me ;) ) totally lacking on many apps.

    You can also
    <ul><li>start listening to Norwegian music (search for "norsk musik" on Youtube) </li><li>see norwegian cartoons :P search for "norsk tegnefilm" (=Norwegian cartoon) on youtube for example :) </li><li> listen to norwegian Disney songs and read the English translations ;) </li></ul>

    Oh... You should know that there are 2 variations of Norwegian by the way... "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk" :) I think that "Norwegian Bokmål" is what most people learn - and it's closer to Danish and Swedish than Nynorsk :)

    Here's a Norwegian song which I really really like by the way ;)
    <ul><li>"Bjørn Eidsvåg - Floden": <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXJlw0yDQ2A" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXJlw0yDQ2A</a> </li></ul>

    Or try Swedish Disney songs with lyrics/subtitles in both Swedish and English :) 

    Such as this one from Aladdin: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHRj_1BorrU" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHRj_1BorrU</a>
