The Best Way of Learning Swahili?

Not all words are created equal. Some words are used more than other words. The most common Swahili words are more important to know than the more uncommon words.

Research has shown that the most used 2,500 Swahili words account for 92% of all spoken language, and 82% of all written Swahili texts. 

This is quite impressive. Out of the 300,000 Swahili words in current use, you only need to know the top 2,500 to be fluent enough for daily life.

The secret to becoming fluent fast, is by learning the most used Swahili words first. 

And everyone can do it. If you learn just ten words per day, you will reach 2500 words in 8 months' time. That is enough to be considered fluent!

 

Studies have shown that the most used 2,500 words account for 92% of all spoken Swahili, and 82% of all written Swahili text.

All raw data has been lemmatized. Some "frequency dictionaries" list conjugations of verbs and adjectives as separate entries. This dictionary does not. It lists only the root word.

Swahili pronunciation can sometimes be challenging. Because you want to know how to pronounce words correctly, we added phonetic transcriptions. We used the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to spell words phonetically.
