<translate> Nilipofika shule ya upili, Kiswahili kilikuwa somo nililongangana nalo sana. Haikosi ni kwa sababu ya hali ile ya kutozungumza na kutoitumia lugha hii nje ya darasa. Karatasi ya fasihi hasa ndio iliyonipa msukumo sana. Mwishowe nilifaulu na kiwango hicho cha masomo na kujiunga na chuo kikuu. Nimewapa maelezo yangu binafsi ya Kiswahili kwani ingawa lugha hii inasemekana kuwa na wazungumzaji kati ya milioni hamsini na milioni mia moja na hamsini, wengi wetu tuna ustadi zaidi katika lugha za nje, kwani ndizo zinazotumika na kutiliwa maanani tunapoingia chuo kikuu na mazingira ya kazi. <eng>
When I got to high school, Kiswahili was a subject that I struggled with a lot. No doubt it is because of the state of not speaking and not using this language outside the classroom. Literary paper in particular was the one that inspired me the most. Eventually I passed that level of study and joined the university. I have given you my personal description of Kiswahili because although this language is said to have between fifty and one hundred and fifty million speakers, most of us are more proficient in foreign languages, as they are the ones used and considered when we enter university and work environment.
