Any entries from anyone?
I'm submitting the new banner soon and if anyone does have an entry, I'll announce the winner tomorrow.

So no entries for last week, are there any for this week (Jina langu ni...)?

Would people like an example of what you could do, or would you like longer to do it?

Actually, perhaps more time is a good idea. I would send entries, but I usually don't have time to make them.

I'll let the entries stay open for 2 weeks then, is that enough time?

I think that should be fine

I think two weeks is a better time span, especially for fanfic writers

Maybe a section on the main site would be good too? It's sometimes hard to find the week's phrase on there- my computer is awfully slow, so I generally hide the banners for a week so I can have the site run faster :3

I really like the idea otherwise!

I don't think there's anywhere on the main site that I can put the page as it isn't properly related to The Lion King, but I'll see if I can make it more widely known.

I have no entries for this week, so I shall post a lesson instead.

Yes = Ndiyo (N-dee-yoh)
No = Hapana (Ha-pa-na)
Thank you = Asante (A-san-tay)
Thank you very much = Asante sana (A-san-tay sa-na)
Please = Tafadhali (Ta-fa-d-ha-li)
OK = Sawa (Sa-wa)
Excuse me = Samahani (Sa-ma-ha-nee)

Those are some nice phrases! I'll try and slip some into my new fanfic x3 I love the new one "mataka yote hukosa yote"! I think I have an idea for a small story for it too :3 Don't worry 'bout the lack of entries; it just takes people to know about it

We had weekly competitions in the cafe I work at during last summer and at first there was maybe only 2 people on it, but by the end of summer practically half the Cafe customers were voting on the weekly poll

Thank you very much!
I would love to see them in a fanfic!
And I think I'm giving up with the competition aspect, however, if people do use the phrases then they can post them here for everyone to see!
