Swahili on the Work Site

Last week we learned some Swahili greetings, and this week we will take a look at some of the words you would hear on one of our work sites.


*This last word is considered street slang. It is a Kenyan modification of our phrase "take care". I say it about a million times a day to the curious kids who get just a tad too close to swinging pick-axes for my comfort!

Next week we will learn some Swahili politeness :)
