So...children, children everywhere. If you want to learn a language surround yourself with little ones that speak it. They're so patient, so sweet and you actually don't need to speak any Swahili to understand what they're doing.

Language (Lugha)
Fun fact, Tanzanians know three languages: English, Swahili and their mother tongue. Many schools are taught solely in English so younger students surpass on bilingual expectations. Swahili is mostly used in the villages, cities and home. Their third language is the language of their tribe, whether Masaii, Mchaga or another. Tanzanians love and respect their history and one way to preserve their culture is to preserve the language. For me, I'm still trying to get down my English.
