[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 842550, member: 17918"] I?m useless at languages unless I?m in the actual country. Case in point (Dar), I could speak coastal kiSwahili as a kid but can only remember silly things now. Back in the 90s when I revisited Mombasa it was about 3 days before It all came back to the point where I could converse in a bush bar and be understood. Same with French. Never learnt German or Arabic formally but can understand enough to have a dual language conversation (me in English) after a few days in the relevant country. If you are still spending a lot of time in Dar, unless things have changed massively in the last 30 yrs, I?d expect you could find some local speakers? If you want a real challenge, try Lithuanian - that is something else! [/QUOTE]
