The Organization of African Unity (today African Union) decided that Swahili would become the common language of all of the 53 countries in Africa, and it is taught in many universities. The authors of this book have taught Swahili in the Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University, and drew upon their experience to write this first Swahili textbook especially for Hebrew speakers. It is meant to be used as a basic text by students, businesspeople, diplomats and tourists, both in academic settings, or in individual study.\ }, author = {Arye Oded and Elena Dubnov} }
