1965,the Foreign Service Institute produced for Peace Copsuse an Experimental Course in Swahili.The distinctive feature of that course was its'microwave'style of lesson organization,which emphasizes communicative use of eachstructural element as soon as it appears.Subsequent experience in a number of PeaceCorps training programs as wellas at the Foreign Service Institute has led to extensiverevision and supplementation,and to division of the one course into two.\n\nThe subject matter of this booklet is taken from the area of general,sociallyuseful,conversation.The student is introduced to the rudiments of Swahili grammaras well as to a number of the highest frequency patterns and cliches which he willneed immediately upon arrival in East Africa.  \n###### The companion booklet,An Active Introduction to Swahili:Geography,may beused before this one,or after it,or concurrently with it.Both have been produced withfinancial support from the Peace Corps.\n\nSupervising linguist for the project was Earl W.Stevick,assisted by MarianneLehr and Paul Imhoff.Swahili materials were supplied and checked by John Indahwaand Daudi Ballali.Mr.Indakwa also supervised in one of the principal training pro-grams in which the Experimental Course was first used.  \nThe Institute wishes to thank the many persons who,through their criticisms andcorections of the Experimental Course,have contributed to the improvement of thepresent version.  \nJames R.Frith,DeanSchool of Language StudiesForeign Service InstituteDepartment of State  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nPreface ……
