I just recently started learning Swahili and found some amazing classes from Language Transfer[0]. (I have no connection with them.) I've spent a lot of time learning languages, including tricky ones like Mandarin, and this is by far the best learning method I have ever come across. The "class" takes the form of a dialogue between teacher and student where the student is an actual learner unfamiliar with the language and you try to learn with them. Each new word is introduced with a short but thorough explanation of how it fits in with everything you have learned so far and sometimes a mnemonic or story to help with recall. You are always prompted to try and construct new sentences yourself with the new words, without being told how, so that you are naturally exploring the grammar and idiomatic structure of the language and building an intuition for it. You are also prompted intermittently to recall previously learned words. Within just an hour or so, I felt comfortable creating many sentences. I think this style of teaching helps build confidence in the language quickly, which is really important for making progress. They only ask for donations for their content and all of it is on soundcloud and youtube. I really recommend trying it out. [0] https://www.languagetransfer.org https://www.languagetransfer.org
