Swahili is one of the languages used in The Lion King. Everyone who has seen The Lion King knows Swahili:
HAKUNA MATATA
It does mean 'no worries' in Swahili.
On this thread I will post my rolling banner 'Quote of the Week' as well as other useful tips on pronunciation and useful phrases. I will also hold a challenge where I will select a winner every week.
The challenge is to create a graphic/drawing/fanfic based on the 'Quote of the Week'. At the end of the week, I will announce the winner and create a prize for them.
Enjoy learning Swahili!

Nice idea! I hope this will make this site more active, about two years ago there were at least ten drawings, twenty images, and ten characters every week  . So "Kila la kheri" means good luck?  If have time I might make a fanfic for this.

If you would like, I could promote your project in a global site news. (=
I too miss the activity. Heck, I may just join in!

Thanks for the offer Mightbalto1925! I would love to have it promoted.
I put it on the Lion King fan news because I thought it was only Lion King related, but if you think it could go on the global site news then by all means add it up!
I have had so much fun making these and I hope people join in - we need more activity!

Any submissions for this week's contest should be submitted today and I will choose a winner tomorrow. If there aren't any entries, never mind. I'll post a Swahili lesson and a new title anyway!

Lesson 1: Greetings
Welcome (singular) = Karibu (Kah-ree-boo)
Welcome (plural) = Karibuni (Kah-ree-boo-nee)
Hello (informal) = Jambo (Jam-bo)
Hello (singular) = Hujambo (Hoo-jam-bo)
Hello (plural) = Hamjambo (Ham-jam-bo)
The reply to Hujambo or Hamjambo is = Sijambo (See-jam-bo)

I have uploaded it, now I just have to wait for it to be activated. Oh, and unless you have thought of something, how about the next thing be "Asante"?

I was going to save Asante for a lesson, as it is only a word rather than a phrase, but I'm pleased you are joining in.
Asante sana Yearoo!
