Hello! This has probably been asked a THOUSAND times before but I was wondering if anyone has any book or otherwise media that someone can interact with when they want to continue learning Swahili/improve proficiency without having to go all the way to beginner?

I was taught it growing up differently by my parents (Burundi and Tanzania dialect) and used to read and speak it a lot, I also understand the majority of the things I learn but I struggle with anything outside of non-casual/non-academic Swahili. When I was learning English the most helpful thing for me was reading books I was interested in until I eventually understood all words. But I don't think my Swahili level would match my reading level

I guess I'm asking for more intermediate books or media?

I'm an international student who got my 2 year old phone repaired at home (Norway) but when I tried getting it shipped to where I study (Netherlands) they demanded I pay a fee of 90 euros. My phone is used and I don't have 90 euros to pay for it so I've been trying to look for alternative ways A friend told me she got her parents to post through Vinted and then I'd buy and pay for it there, avoiding the shipping taxes. However Vinted doesn't work in Norway. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a loophole where I can still post it and buy it through Vinted, or if it works through Ebay or something like that?
