About the Book

Swahili (from Tanzania) meets Setswana (from Botswana).  This book provides translations for words, phrases and simple sentences in Swahili and Setswana against the English language. The English language serves as a medium for those who neither understand Swahili nor Setswana, thus making it easy for anyone who understands English to learn any of the two African languages together. Any traveler to Eastern or Southern Africa will find this book useful. You may purchase your copy at a bookstore in Tanzania, Botswana or South Africa; or buy your copy online in ebook format from selected retailers. Purchase your copy now and learn 2 prominent African languages at once!

‘I do not want to over emphasize the importance of languages, but in daily life and in a foreign country, it really serves the purpose of communication with the common man in the streets.’

About the Author

Epaphra P.M. Ngowi is a Tanzanian writer who graduated from the University of Dar es Salaam, in the United Republic of Tanzania in 1977 with a degree in Agriculture. He pursued a career in teaching in Botswana and was settled in Francistown for over twenty years. During that time he studied the Setswana language of the Batswana people and soon took an interest in writing this book. He traveled extensively within Southern Africa and particularly Botswana. Although he has currently retired at his home country (Tanzania), this book is a tribute of his travels and lessons learnt in Botswana over the years.
