Find your private Zulu tutor in Klerksdorp

Looking for Zulu Language Lessons for Beginners? 

If you are determined, motivated and ambitious you will know that being multilingual is immensely beneficial for both one’s personal life and career. In South Africa where 11 official languages are available to learn there are plenty of opportunities to speak many languages!   

If you are searching for Zulu language lessons for beginners, then it is likely that you already know this.   

Having the self-confidence to speak, write and read Zulu, especially in the working world will give you the competitive edge in a country like South Africa because Zulu is spoken by around 25 % of the population. 

An interesting fact is that even though English is the most spoken language around the world, in South Africa it is the mother tongue for only one in 10 households.  

Apart from English and Zulu, about 16% of South Africans speak isiXhosa making it the second most prolific language in the country. Like Zulu, it’s a Nguni language. This means that you will need to look out for many similarities including a few words that look and sound the same but have different meanings. Here they are:    

• Ncokolo: translates as chat in Xhosa, but tease in Zulu
• Thetha: translates as talk in Xhosa, but shout in Zulu
• Phuza: translates as to kiss in Xhosa, but drink in Zulu
• Nzima: translates as heavy in Xhosa, but difficult in Zulu
• Sela: translates as to drink in Xhosa, but thief in Zulu
• Cinga: translates as to think in Xhosa, but to search in Zulu

If you have opted to study Zulu as a Matric subject then you may need the support of extra Zulu lessons at some point.

When it comes to Grade 12 Zulu, like most other languages, poetry and other setwork can prove challenging. Perhaps writing character essays and interpreting metaphorical language in Zulu is confounding you? If you are at this point you are beyond Zulu language lessons for beginners and finding the right isiZulu teacher to guide you through these advanced sections could make all the difference to your exams.  

If you are in Matric and working through Impi Yabomdabu Isethunjini the CAPS approved Zulu setwork, it is an excellent opportunity to take private Zulu lessons to advance your language skills.   

The story is centred around the divided Ngubane family, who like most ordinary families have their share of internal drama. Mbhabhadisi is the successful oldest son who lives in Durban’s Umlazi area. Things become difficult when his younger sister Linono marries into a sugar cane family who do not receive her fatherless children. For a time, their uncle agrees to take care of the children up until he is pressured by the surrounding community to make them experience urban life in the city. At this point, the family dynamics become even more strained because Mbhabhadisi declines to take any responsibility for them. This results in him and his wife becoming the story villains who make one blunder after the next.   

Understanding the many nuances, language and in-depth characters of this book is key to attaining a good Zulu grade. Remember that this will also affect your overall Matric aggregate. One way to ensure that you achieve these goals is to locate the perfect IsiZulu teacher for you.
