I will teach you some of the origins of the language – and some words you probably already know, even if you’re not aware! This isn’t just a guidebook in Swahili; we’ll cut straight to the words and greetings most commonly used, focussing on how to order food and buy goods. Then, once you’re confident with some key phrases, we’ll head out to the most bustling market area in Dar: Kariakoo market.Here, you will knock the socks off the stallholders by conversing with them in perfect Swahili!

Congo street

From here you will start to see those people you haven't seen since you came to Tanzania in one place, everyone is selling something and others buy. Enough noise to bother your ears, everyone will want you to look at their business, its amazing when they sing to make you buy their products.

This area is a true meaning of Africa, nobody mind a space just mind your things. You might find yourself you lost everything in your pocket 😂, jusk kidding but trust me this is a market center. It feels like a different world, everyone's here.

12:40 PM

Karume market

The only place you can find any cheap shoe is here, all the brand's shoes are arranged in a small table. You'll be Amazed those shoes ain't new but everyone's fighting for them. We will go out and pass by the coffee bars that only men drink while talking about sports, politics and so on.
