  1. I use two android apps to learn Chinese. That is, Pleco and train chinese. Pleco is very interesting because, besides drawing a character on the screen for translation, you can direct the phone camera to some writing on the wall or on a book and you get the meaning. For Train Chinese, it has long sentences translated beside the word to word translation. They make learning easy and fun.
  2. There is a direct translation of `yes' and `no' in Swahili. They are `ndio' and `la' respectively. On the other hand the direct translation for yes in Chinese-pinyin is `Shi' (first tone) while for no is 'bu shi'. You need to check for the character representations of the Chinese words. It is much fan drawing them.
  3. The expression I love you in Swahili is `nakupenda', followed by the the name of the one you love. For example. Nakupenda mama literally meaning I love you mom.
