There needs to be more flexibility in what answers are accepted by DL. One should not have to memorise less than ideal English phraseology just to move on, as they say "going along to get along" with DL. Kama wanasema kwa Kiswahili, "watu wanasema Kiingereza mbalimbali.

I am not a Native speaker, so my Swahili may not be correct. However I was trying to say “As they say in Swahili, people speak English in different ways.”
Swahili uses the habitual -hu tense in many proverbs, so my guess is that it should be husema. 'Different ways' would be njia mbalimbali, njia tofauti or njia tofauti-tofauti (njia = 'road, path, way' and tofauti is 'different'). So, my guess would be Watu husema Kiingereza njia tofauti-tofauti. But I'm not a native speaker either :)
