If you would like to learn Swahili in its natural environment, but with a world-renowned institution of higher education, this is the perfect choice! This course takes you to Butiama, the hometown of the late Julius Nyerere, the first president of independent Tanzania, and you will be studying and living in his family home. Outside of the classroom, there will be ample opportunities to get to know local people, learn various aspects of traditional culture and explore other parts of Tanzania like the Serengeti and Lake Victoria. Completion of the course will enable you to gain academic credit and to confidently utilize Swahili in a wide range of environments.
