Learn Swahili with Lucy

What it actually is

A tidy, welcoming set of first-steps Swahili videos: greetings, introductions, numbers, and the phrases you need in the first weeks, spoken slowly with clear pronunciation. For someone who wants a gentle start before committing to a course, this is the friendliest free option. It is a small archive of around 40 videos that stops at beginner level, and new uploads have paused.
