In learning the Kiswahili language we will start with greetings, greetings in the Kiswahili language are divided into three parts which are
1. A greeting based on age and friendship
In this greeting people greet each other based on one's age as well as friendship, this kind of greeting is also divided into two main parts.
 Greetings of a child or young person to an older person. This greeting is a child or young person who should greet the older person, the words used are shikamoo and marhaba. An example of a greeting between a child named Toyota and his father a Suzuki
Toyota: shikamoo father 
Suzuki: marhab my son
 Greetings from friends or people of the same age. This greeting is usually for people of the same age or friends. This greeting uses the words Mambo and Poa. In English the word Mambo means Whats up and the word Poa means Cool. An example of greetings between people of the same age and let's look at that example through these friends Honda and Zoyi
Honda: Mambo  
Zoyi: Poa 
This greeting does not apply More to older people or people you respect
Greetings that do not take into account age or relationships. This type of greeting is used by people of all ages but especially older people and is more focused on time as is the English language.
 In the morning, in the morning they greet each other as it seems to greet the following Chinese-speaking Swahili who are Li and Gi
Li: Good morning? 
Gi: Good
 During the day, during the day they greet each other as seen in the greeting between James and Oliver.
James: Za asubuhi?
Oliver: Nzuri
 In the evening, when the guests greet each other as shown by the greetings between Jumanne and Zawadi as follows.
Jumanne: Za jioni?
Gifts: Nzuri
3. We will also learn greetings that are used to inquire about a person's condition. This kind of greeting is used by older people. The words that are used are Habari yako and Nzuri.

ANIMAL NAMES / MAJINA YA WANYAMA

For a student who need reading exercises so that he doesn't forget the Swahili language I'll have to give him/her a passage of information he/she reads and fixes him/her exactly when he/she  wrong. This is for those intermediate students who knows Swahili language but they do not have the opportunity to read the news but through ITALKl ,  I will help them.    Example of  Swahili passage:     James anapenda matunda aina ya ndizi lakini alipokwenda sokoni alikuta zinauzwa bei kubwa , ndizi moja shilingi elfu moja hivyo akaamua kununua embe moja shilingi mia moja. Translation of above passage.   James loves banana fruit but when he went to the market he found they were sold at a high price, one thousand shillings, so he decided to buy one mango for one hundred shillings.

READING NEWS ARTICLES / KUSOMA KIFUNGU CHA HABARI

I will also strive to teach my student about  fruit names, he must know those names in order to make easy communication if he/ she will travel to Tanzania. Examples of  fruit names are Mango ( Embe ) , Apple ( Tufaa ) , Orange ( Chungwa ) ,  Banana ( Ndizi ),  in the sentences                                                               .Nipe chungwa                                                                                                                                                 .Give me an orange
