Natalie,

This sounds really interesting and something I have often contemplated
myself.  I lived for 4 years in Kenya and became quite fluent in Kiswahili.
Although that was more than 25 years ago, I still have a reasonable grasp. I
look forward to hearing and discussing your budding language.  Having failed
to pursue this myself, I can at least enjoy your attempts.

Good luck with this.
