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.

The street children in Kenya (chokoraa), they are mainly teenagers who are orphans who's life took a drastic turn of events or got abandoned as infants. If they are given opportunities, you will be shocked with the amazing things they can do. Its the same with the homeless people in Los Angeles and New York.

Nice! Very well put together. "The animals come out at night😆". I've never heard an accent from the Beehive state. Very nice English. It's almost BBC/VOA standard.👍

Your Kiswahili is impressive.... thumbs up

Welcome back again brother.

Your Swahili is excellent! You put the OGAs who have lived in Kenya for thirty years but cannot even greet in Swahili to shame.

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 😄

I have a kwesheni☝️Did someone tell him that most of the disabled people/beggars he met in the streets of most Kenyan cities/towns are imported from other East African countries especially Tanzanians?

The Kenyan chokoras are half the homeless population that the US has across their massive nation. For instance, you have unspeakable numbers of american citizens living on skid row (Los Angeles, CA), Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, etc ... and pretty much as I said ... across the anerican vast land. Kenyan homeless population is nothing but a minute fraction of what you see in America.

He is such a good story teller.

Can we take sometime to appreciate how he got the kids accent well and could say chokora good enough 💀

The end made me smile and laugh, so watch to the end, somewhere around his speaking, he spoke like a Coastarian and also he kinda sounded like Uhuru's son the day he was giving a speech when he said "Yule mtu ambaye nilikuwa hapo zamani ......" and some other words like 'Nairobi', but this mzungu is soooo good in Swahili given that he was formulating and articulating his own words . Plus he should visit Coastal Kenya, they speak pure Swahili. I most especially loved that he spoke of Jesus Christ as Our Saviour. Glory To Jesus Christ.

Tribes in Kenya have actually increased, Shona Kenyans and Indian Kenyans have been granted and recognised as Kenyans. Both peoples migrated to Kenya in the 20th century and are either 3rd or 4th generation. But have always been Kenyan in more ways.

* most of the beggars on the streets are actually form Tanzania and run a cartel-like begging business here in Kenya. As the Kenyan shillings is much stronger than the Tanzanian shilling it makes more economic sense to Tanzania's beggers to cross the border to Kenya where it's more lucrative.

Mzungu means visitor not white person, mzungu it's name given to a person that is not of that land, every time I go to my village thy will use that name msungu inzi, which mean a visitor as arrived.
