• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

English and Swahili have become international
languages which are spoken and taught all over the
world. Learning a language without its culture can
make one have some problems communicating to native
speakers of that language. This book synthesizes
English and Swahili cultures by comprehensively
analysing and interpreting the equivalent proverbs
found in both languages. The proverbs from the two
cultures were analysed alphabetically with their
meanings and uses. This dictionary is a valuable tool
to all Scholars of African Studies, African
Languages, African Literature and African
Anthropology. Additionally, the book can be used by
Scholars of English Language and Literature. Further,
the book can be used by tourists who want to use
Swahili proverbs in their communications. The book,
can also be used by Swahili Speakers who want to
learn English proverbs.
