So Expug has enlightened me to a new Swahili resource. Therefore I am creating this thread as a list of Swahili resources. We should have a list of on and offline resources.
Alors, Expug m'a appris à une nouvelle ressource de la langue swahili. Donc je crée ce topic comme liste des ressources du swahili. On devrait avoir une liste des ressources en ligne et non-connecté.
Online
Foreign Service Institute Swahili* --- Provided by the U.S. government. Great sound files and a downloadable (free!!) lesson book that has readings toward the end. Erm, the recordings don't exactly match the book, but they go in the same direction from what I've listened to so far.
The Kamusi Project Internet Living Swahili Dictionary --- An excellent and extensive dictionary created by Yale University.
Mwana Simba* --- The Web's ultimate website dedicated to Swahili. En français. And English.
Offline
Swahili for Starters: A Practical Introductory Course* by Joan Maw. Oxford University Press. --- Interesting, it's written so that the learner also learns about the cultural context of the language. It's set up in a somewhat effective (but extremely simple) learn-practice fashion, so you get a few words/phrases at a time and then practice them. As for audio, you have to buy that separately, at least in my case... I'd have to order it. I haven't, so I can't speak on the quality.
*includes audio inclut de l'audio
