Project Finished (kinda)

Hey,

Hello everyone! I have been told that my presentation went rather well and I'm proud of it. I had copies of the cards that I passed around and everyone thought that the idea was a good one. I wouldn't call this project a success but I learnt some new things and it was kinda fun.

I believe that I learnt more about the culture and history of the language than of the language itself. But learning about the culture has always been more interesting to me.

I don't plan on closing up this blog, especially since I haven't gone to kenya yet. I plan on updating as more of the news of my trip comes flooding in. So I guess I'll talk to you soon with more info about my trip.

Thank you cards

Hey,
So these are the cards, on the back they have a basic message talking about how I'm thankful to have met them in both English and Swahili.
I don't know if any of you know, but Asante means thanks in Swahili.
My dad is currently having them copied onto nice glossy paper, so I'll post a picture of the message later tonight.

The presentation

Hey, 

I've decided for the presentation what I will be doing, I will go over the basics of what I learnt (pronunciation, greetings, basic conversation) but I will include something I'm currently working on. 

I plan on making little homemade cards that have a little thank you note for the peope who are closest to my heart in Kenya this year. I hope to make them a little bit more personal after I meet them but until then I'll have a basic thank you on them.
