    Are You Saying It Right? How to Talk About People in Swahili Without Sounding Off Subtitle: Master the A-Wa Noun Class and Use the Right Tenses with Confidence

    Let’s talk about who we’re talking about; literally. The A-Wa noun class in Swahili is used for people and animals, and it plays a huge role in how you form sentences across tenses. But here’s the part most learners miss: 👉 You have to adjust your subject prefixes and your verbs based on the noun class and the tense. For example: Anafanya kazi = He/she is working Wanafanya kazi = They are working Alifanya kazi = He/she worked Wamefanya kazi = They have worked Same verb root — but completely different meaning depending on tense and noun class. Getting this right is key if you want your Swahili to actually make sense to native speakers. 🎧 In this week’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down: How noun class A-Wa works The most common tense combos Why this unlocks smoother conversation skills 💛 Ready to finally get Swahili and feel confident speaking it?If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself every time you want to say something simple, I’ve got you.You need a system that makes sense and support from someone who’s obsessed with your success. 📱⁠ Download the LSN: Swahili Made Easy App on iOS or Android for on-the-go lessons⁠ 🔥 To go from struggling with your Swahili to thriving, Join ⁠my FREE five day IGNITE your Swahili challenge. ⁠ Let’s make Swahili your superpower and I’ll guide you every step of the way. 💪 I’m rooting for you. 💛
