Our Swahili speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These Swahili lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Swahili by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Swahili to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Swahili culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Swahili exam.
Swahili lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Swahili to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Swahili, as well as survival Swahili should a short stay in the country be needed.
Those wishing to learn Swahili in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Swahili Lessons or Small Group In-Company Swahili Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Swahili proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Swahili Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.

Wilkommen nach Deutsches-Athen! (Welcome to German Athens!) Milwaukees fascinating history of immigration makes interesting reading, but even better language learning opportunities! Even though the bulk of immigration from German-speaking German states and Austria happened in the 1840s, the German influence on the city is still felt today through the prime industries of brewing and manufacturing - and the fact that there are more Schmitts and Schmidts in the phone book than Smiths! Even into the twentieth century, Milwaukee was host to more German speakers and German-language press than the English language equivalents. Large influxes of immigrants have also arrived from Poland, Central and Eastern Europe. Milwaukee shares the recognition of having the highest percentage of foreign-born residents with New York City, when compared to figures from all the rest of the United States. The time is ripe to launch into another language in Milwaukee!
