I’m Suleiman from Zanzibar, Tanzania, a language teacher working both online and in Zanzibar. I speak six languages: Swahili (native), English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, and Norwegian. I’m currently learning German, Korean, and High Valyrian. Learning languages and exploring cultures is my passion. It has shaped how I see the world and connect with people from different backgrounds. I’ve helped many learners, including tourists, friends, and language partners. I also volunteered as a Swahili tutor at SPEAK.social, supporting refugees and migrants. I have worked with a German volunteer organization and currently teach Swahili for a Korean agency (KOICA) and Doctors Without Borders. As a polyglot, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. I guide my students with practical tips, simple methods, and clear structure to help them improve effectively. I teach all levels, from beginners to advanced students, including travel and survival Swahili. My lessons are flexible and adapted to each student’s needs. I use my own notes, books, songs, videos, and stories to make learning engaging and effective. You’re welcome to learn Swahili with me in a supportive and enjoyable way

We continued to study the irregular Swahili verbs, this class we discussed the usage of the verb Kuwa ko. We also talked about a lot of cultural matters regarding Swahili and Tanzania. It was very interesting, since one of the best things about learning a new language is delving into the culture to which it belongs. Asante sana Sule, tutaonana baadaye!

Another great lesson! Suleiman, and myself practiced Kiswahili by having a nice conversation. If you're thinking about learning Swahili, Suleiman is your teacher! It's ok to make mistakes! I had many, and he pointed them out, so I could learn from them. After that, we would continue on. At the end of the class, Suleiman gave me a positive re-enforcer by his kind words of encouragement. I will continue to learn Swahili...no turning back! I'm so grateful to have Italki, and Suleiman as my teacher.
