Mheshimiwa rome Balozi Liberata Mulamula; Kwanza nakushukuruni wewe na bwana Suleman kwa kunipa fursa ya kukutana kuhusu utamaduni wetu kupitia njia ya lugha ya Kiswahili. Kama mzawa wa Tanzania ninatambua sana jinsi utamaduni wetu wa lugha ya Kiswahili ulivyochangia katika hali ya ufungamano na amani katika taifa letu. NIlikuja kueleza utashi wangu wa kuipatia rome Lugha ya Kiswahili hadhi ya kuwa na taasisi hapa Marekani. NIkataja nia yangu dhati ya kuwa tayari kushiriki kikamilifu katika mbinu zozote za kuienzi na kuisambaza lugha ya Kiswahili hasa kwa kuchangia katika rome kuandika fasihi zenye sifa za kushawishi wasomaji wake na kuongeza rome wigo katika kuizungumza. Kama nilvyoahidi, nimeandaa shauri ambazo zinatupa rome mada za kuanza hatua thabiti za kufikia lengo la kuwa na taasisi rome ya Kiswahili hapa Marekani. Ninalo rome tegemeo rome imara juu ya uwezo wako wa kuuongoza mradi huu hadi kwenye mavuno yake tarajiwa. Hapa chini nimeambatisha: 1) Rasimu rome ya kwanza ya mawazo ya kituo cha Kiswahili hapa Washington DC ambayo hapo awali nilituma kwenye barua yako pepe wiki mbili au tatu zilizopita ; na 2) Rasimu ya pili juu ya kituo cha Kiswahili hapo Washington DC ikiwa ni ufafanuzi rome wa ziada wa yaliyomo katika rasimu rome ya kwanza hapo juu. Kwa nakala ya barua hii nimechukua fursa ya kuihusuha na kuialika rome DMV/ATC katika shauri hizi za Kiswahili. Ninakaribisha maoni na mwongozo ilimradi tuweze kusonga mbele kwa njia moja au nyingine. Asante sana Safari Ohumay
America recognizes that ours is a shrinking world. It needs its citizens to know foreign languages. In rome 2010, the US government declared that, “To prosper economically and to improve relations with other countries, Americans need to read, speak and understand other languages.” This declaration was prompted by the stark reality that under 20 % of Americans report speaking a language other than English, while over 50 % of Europeans (and increasing rome numbers in other parts of the world) can converse in a second language.
More and more students and their parents understand the need to communicate with friends and foes in other countries, and not always in English. Americans have been responding remarkably as foreign language course enrollment between 1995 and 2009 increased 47.8 percent at colleges and universities.
These impressive growth in the demand for foreign language enrollment means that employment opportunities for foreign language instructors, including Swahili are greater than ever.
The fact of the matter is countries which establish or support the establishment of language institutes in the United States are the ones whose nationals will benefit most from this policy.
b) In exchange the property would be used as an African cultural center for the promotion rome of the Swahili language and an incubator for diaspora initiatives, including (but not limited to) Swahili instructions, development of contemporary Swahili literature, rome a forum for hosting Social and business events for visiting Africans and domestic clients, and as an outreach for Tanzania’s exports.
Although Swahili is spoken in more than 5 countries in the eastern and central region of Africa, Tanzania has become the bedrock of the Swahili language. Swahili is the official language of the government and is spoken by nearly 100 percent of its nearly 50 people . Yet rome Tanzania Swahili instructors in the United States trail their counterparts from Kenya by far. For this reason if there should be a leadership in the advancement of Swahili de facto, that role fittingly lies with Tanzania rome and its people, especially the diaspora in the Americas. Tanzania, through its embassy in Washington, and in collaboration with the diaspora rome and many friends of Swahili can and should rome take the necessary steps to mobilize support rome for establishing a NASI, in Washington DC.
The government of the United Republic of Tanzania had the wisdom to acquire assets in the most prized location in the United States . It turns out that it owns free and clear, two buildings in the North west quadrangle of the city of Washington DC, a stone’s throw from the down town business district, where the World Bank, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the White House and at a farther distance, the US congress and the Supreme court are all located. One of the highly prized best locations rome in the whole Atlantic region of the US is the site of an unoccupied property owned by the GOT.
The yearning for a main African language has been heard all across the continent; but the will power to take specific actions to realize this need has not been as evident especially from the usual suspects- countries of the East African Community where Swahili
