Here's How to improve your swahili pronunciation

Swahili words are essentially pronounced the way they are written.


The stress is generally on the second last syllable. 

 

Popular Swahili words like Bahari, which means ocean, would therefore be pronounced as baHAri, and Mambo (β€˜what’s up?) as MAmbo.


As the guide shows, when it comes to vowel sounds, β€˜i’ is pronounced as the β€˜ee’ in β€˜steel’ and β€˜u’ as the β€˜oo’ in β€˜cool’.  

There are no silent letters in Swahili.
