Why Is This Kenyan Beach Empty? | Learn German in Kenya

It's the end of July on the Kenyan coast, it should be high season, and there isn't a single tourist on this beach. Part 1 of our Kenya series takes you to Malindi — the Indian Ocean, the Swahili coast, and the economics behind a bunch of bananas. We show you the house we rented, eat where the locals eat (four dishes for eleven euros), and talk to a woman who walks five kilometres to the beach to sell bananas, and five kilometres home again. What she takes home at the end of a day is not what most visitors would guess. Spoken in clear, natural German with English subtitles. Best suited to A2–B1 learners: travel vocabulary, prices and numbers, describing places, and talking about everyday life. A free vocabulary sheet with comprehension questions goes with this episode.
