Before coming to a country you have never been to before it is a widespread habit to google this particular country. When your destination is called Uganda, a not so well-known country, you are indeed very likely to do so. Wikipedia, a widely trusted source, will now tell you that both English and Swahili are the official languages of Uganda. Lucky you, you know English and Swahili lessons are available all over the world and on the web. By the time you actually get to the streets of Kampala you will soon notice: The people of the Buganda Kingdom do not speak Swahili. They do not even speak English when conversing with each other. Most people in this region speak Luganda. If you really want to connect to the people and get to know the culture of this region, you will find this textbook called ‘Yiga Oluganda!’ (Learn Luganda!) very helpful as it is the only widely available in-depth textbook for Luganda. It is vital to mention though that this guide is not written by professionals but by a learner and a native speaker of Luganda. Although we might not be able to give you the most adequate grammatical terms we are confident that we managed to combine the perspective of a recent learner of Luganda who is not a linguist and who didn’t know any other Bantu-language beforehand and a native speaker who can provide the best ways of expressing things in casual Luganda spoken on the streets and in the homes of Kampala and the Buganda Kingdom. The guide is not a step-by-step approach to Luganda, it can rather be seen as a bookshelf that provides you with input, information and help according to your needs. Every learner of a language has his or her own way and speed of learning. Furthermore, every person coming to Uganda will find him or herself in a different environment where different terms might be helpful. Thus the guide is not structured in a contingent way and should not be read from the first to the last page.
