FAQs
🗣️ What do you say when introducing yourself in Zulu?
A simple self-introduction in isiZulu goes a long way with native speakers.
- Greeting (ukubingelela): say "Sawubona" to greet one person, or "Sanibonani" when addressing a group.
- Your name (igama): say "Igama lami ngu-[name]" to tell someone what your name is.
- Your origin: add "Ngiphuma e-[place]" to let people know where you come from.
- Responding warmly: "Ngikhona" means "I am well" and is the standard reply when someone asks how you are.
Regular lessons with a native speaker turn basic greetings into flowing, natural conversations.
💰 What's the average price for isiZulu classes in George?
A private isiZulu lesson in George costs approximately R105/h.
The cost depends on a few key elements:

- Ncokolo: it means chat in Xhosa and tease in Zulu
- Thetha: it means talk in Xhosa and shout in Zulu
- Phuza: it means to kiss in Xhosa and drink in Zulu
- Nzima: it means heavy in Xhosa and difficult in Zulu
- Sela: it means to drink in Xhosa and thief in Zulu
- Cinga: it means to think in Xhosa and to search in Zulu
