Umuhoza Karen

I recommend Umuhoza for all levels of Swahili learners. Her wealth of knowledge of different east African cultures/customs adds an extra level of benefits to taking her classes for beginners to advance level learners.

I could you recommend Umuhoza more highly. I learn a lot during her classes AND it is a lot of fun. This must be the best way to learn a language... She leads the class Professionally, and seems to understand very well how to adapt her curriculum to my needs, interests and learning speed. When we talk, it is like I am in Africa already!

For me personally everything is perfect. After the 2nd lesson I already learned more than I thought I would. All different ways of greeting someone in different settings ect and the different ways to respond. Additionally Karen explains when to use special terms in a special context and also "the background" of certain terms. So it's easy to understand. Karen has a friendly and welcoming personality and she is very encouraging. I also like her notes. She always writes down the phrases she teaches me. Very structured. I'm already looking forward to the 3rd lesson. Thank you, Karen! I would like to give you 10 stars. :-) ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

If it were possible I would definitely rate Umuhoza Karen much higher. She was very kind and understanding in her approach and always encourages me to keep speaking Swahili. She made the lesson very fun and interactive, and she is very knowledgeable about the Swahili language, she explains clearly and precisely more than what the word means but how to use it properly she is one of the best Swahili teachers out there. I'll definitely be doing more lessons with her, and I have nothing but great things to say about her.

Umuhoza is a wonderful teacher and takes her time to make sure you have the foundation to truly understand the language. Highly recommend!

Great first lesson. Thank you!
