It seems every country has an endearing term for a foreigner!

We can usually find someone in East Africa who speaks English; though Tanzania was the most difficult. I ended up Learning some Kiswahili words for the local market without even meaning to! In Burundi and Rwanda (where we currently are – yes, I am behind on posts!) there is a lot of French, which also works for us.

It’s difficult to learn any other language than Kiswahili because each region and village speaks a different tribal language. Thankfully most signs are in English! 🙂

How is the English there? Have you learned much of the local language? Do they use the English alphabet? I suppose there are many languages..?
