[@Ivytke]

😄 Whoa, he speaks better Kiswahili than I do...Kudos!! 👏👏👏 Nice overview of Kenya, I love it.

[@blessedoveTX]

Children learn English as early as three years when they start school at baby class or earlier if parents speak English at home. Both English and Swahili are learnt together from childhood. So for the kids saying just hi or hello to you does not mean thats all the English they know!! And NOT all children are in the streets! Otherwise what do adults and children say to a stranger in your country after greetings????

[@listenup2882]

It's ok not to be able to speak English you know. It's just a European language that was imposed on Kenyans and other Africans.

[@anselmgachukia6809]

I wonder does speaking English mean you more intelligent than one who does not,or does speaking native tongue make one of less intelligence just asking?..

Keep in mind you are talking about the Children in urban centres where education is available. He was taken to a place without modern and western interference so he could learn about Kenyan culture. We all know that education isn't everywhere in Kenya and where he was maybe the case was the same

[@anselmgachukia6809]

His speaking the truth ever since when has English become a priority,it's not a measure of intelligence or a sign that one is more culturally astute than others,kids learn first their mother tongue that's a priority ,then a second language probably English as third language,I spoke German and my mother tongue before I knew what English was,Also my kids speak their native tongue first ,English is like a fourth or 3rd Language to them

[@rachealmugoh725]

I wonder too

[@zorahkobero2440]

Where he was (which was far from Nairobi or other developed cities where children are entitled to education) the children didn't know english because there are no schools in the rural areas to teach them english or maybe the parents don't have the fees to pay for education. I have been to many such places.

This person, for the "kids" who spoke to you, they didn't want to speak English to you and also because we prefer to speak Sheng' which is like the language for most people going under 18(this is coming from a sixteen years old by the way). Also, the how are you is a greeting, it shows that they hope you had a good evening or night or day or whatever time they speak to you. For the food, it is not as easy as you make it seem. Ugali is really hard to make. You don't just ''mix" water and flour over a source of heat. If you do that, you'll be taking this thing called porridge. There has to be the perfect heat and the perfect amount of flour. Otherwise... You'll have a complete mess. By the way it's true. Even if it's not lunch time. if you come into the house, you MUST have something, otherwise it'll be an insult to us Lol me living in Kenya and having never been chased by hyenas. In other news. Your Kiswahili is really nice, you know, even though you're mzungu. It is still good. Thank you for coming to Kenya. Welcome again 😄
