#110 Really Swahili

I wanted to learn a few phrases in another language other than Klingon
and the first language that came to mind was Swahili. Mostly because it's kind of fun to say. It's one of the more widely spoken languages of Eastern Africa and is heavily influenced by Arabic. Having decided on the language, I learned a few Swahili phrases like "Jambo" and "Tafadhali nataka bia baridi" and "Wapi choo?" In other words; "Hello", "I'd like a cold beer", and for about 1 hour later, "Where is the bathroom?" For more useful phrases here is great site.
