There a a few options for you at this point.
1. Get an English to Swahili dictionary too so you can understand the Swahili as well.
2. Stop wanting to learn Russian. Hire a translator instead.
3. Throw your dictionary away. Get these two instead:

It is probably because of your poor understanding of French. If it were the English based Swahili you would probably not have this problem. I suggest you take extensive lessons in French so that when you approach the Swahili again you will have a better foundation in which to learn Russian.

Why can't you understand the dictionary? Get an Engl/Russ dictionary, and before all else learn the cyryllic alphabet.

I am sorry for those racistic utterances that you have read above.
Racism in Ukraine is almost absent, but in USA it is not.
As I see you understand english language.
There are a lot of learning programs in english at internet.

Learn Latin instead. It will be of as much use to you as Russian, if not more.

Just add the word "Comrade" to the end of every sentence. You'll be fine.
