Swahili-English/English-Swahili Practical Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionary) Paperback – 18 Jan. 2001

I use this dictionary every day and it has translations for most words that I need. You need to understand a little basic Swahili grammar to know how to look things up - particularly that all verbs begin with ku- but are listed under the rest of that word. For example, kulala = to sleep, look it up under lala.

Everyone needs to get this, it is so helpful and the size, enables it to be perfect to take with you wherever you go.

Wonderful dictionary. Good size, very useful for my needs. Soooo happy to find it!!
