When we were kids, those Italian priests used to conduct mass in kikuyu. Na hawasumbui…
why is it seen as a big deal when a foreigner speaks a local native language?
Because we have been brainwashed far too greatly.
Are they suprised when we speak and write in English?
Languages are tools for communication.
I wonder why some people get baffled seeing others communicating.
National language ya kamiti maximum
Yes. They are. With my frequent travels around the world the White Pork are surprised I can master and talk fluently three different languages. Native, Swahili & English.
I tell them it’s the norm across Kenya.
Because we were colonised to speak foreign languages. We dont have a choice, we speak their language forcefully. As for them, its a personal choice to speak our languages. They do it out of free will. Just like it will be a big deal if a black person or white person went to Japan or China and spoke Japanese or Mandarin fluently.
