The exercises in this manual are a collection of classroom exercises based on Kiswahili misingi ya kusema, kusoma, na kuandika by Thomas J. Hinnebusch and Sara Mirza (University Press of America, 1979.) Each lesson contains grammar exercises, question and answer exercises to aid students in independent response in Swahili, and drills to aid in sentence building, comprehension, and composition. Unique features of this text include a section on letter composition, "Marudio" (revision exercises, ) and a Swahili/English and English/Swahili dictionary with additional words that expand on the Hinnebusch and Mirza text.
