Any effort is worth to learn the local lingo is appreciated. Like please, thank you. Other important ones to learn when driven into an African shanty town by a clueless driver as the natives are running towards you with star pickets to rob you are. Go Fast Now. lol

And remember, that guy at the airport holding up a placard with your name on it is more likely to lure you into a van, hold you at gunpoint, take your cash and jewellery than take tou on safari.

Be careful BP

Since 4am I've been trying to learn Swahili using Duolingo.

Stick at it for a while. You might yourself.
I found Italian fairly easy. Just focus on a dozen words or phrases.

Only thing you need to know, 'Nitapata Castle Lager, tafadhali" then they hand you a nice cold beer, then you say "asante". but if you are in South Africa they may look at you funny because very few people speak Swahili, better to learn to order beer in siSwati or isiZulu, but everyone speaks Afrikaans "Ek sal assablief 'n Castle Lager he."
