Searching Zulu Lessons Near Me? 

For those who are motivated, determined and ambitious, being multilingual is hugely beneficial for one’s career and personal life. Opportunities like this abound in South Africa where there are 11 official languages to choose from.

But, if you are searching Zulu lessons near me, then you probably know this. 

Having the ability to speak, write and read Zulu, especially in a working context, will give you the edge because, in South Africa, it is spoken by 25% of the population. 

It is interesting that even though it’s the most widely spoken language in the world, in South Africa it is the first language of only one in 10 households.

Apart from Zulu and English, 16% of South Africans speak Xhosa making it the second most prolific language in the country. Remember that because both are classed as Nguni languages, you’ll need to look out for similarities like these words that look and sound the same, yet have different meanings.

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

If you have chosen to study Matric Zulu then searching Zulu lessons near me is a good start.   

Find a Private Zulu Teacher for Matric

Like most languages at an advanced level, poetry, languages and setwork can be challenging. If writing character essays and interpreting the poetic and metaphorical language in Zulu is confounding, then finding just the right Zulu teacher to support you will make all the difference to your exam results.     

In Grade 12 you may read Impi Yabomdabu Isethunjini which is the CAPS approved Zulu setwork. It is also a great opportunity on which to hinge your private Zulu lessons and advance your language skills.   

The story, which is centred around the struggles of the Ngubane family, unfolds with all the dynamics of a family drama. Mbhabhadisi, who is the oldest son, lives a successful life in Durban’s Umlazi area. His younger sister Linono has a more difficult existence because she marries into a family that will not accept her fatherless children. For a while, the uncle agrees to act as the caretaker for the children, but following some community pressure, decides to send them back to the city to experience urban life. Instead of choosing to take responsibility for them, Mbhabhadisi turns his back on them. Because of this, he and his wife become the narrative’s villains who make mistake after mistake.

To attain a good Zulu grade, and ultimately the Matric aggregate you are aiming for, you will need to understand the in-depth characters, nuances and language of this book.   

Finding the right Zulu teacher for you could make all the difference. 

Take Private Zulu Lessons for Beginners

Languages can indeed be self-taught, however, having the support of an experienced teacher is highly recommended. Regardless of whether you are concerned about your Zulu setwork or simply want to gain conversational skills, find a Zulu teacher to work with your unique goals, budget and ability.

Zulu is a colourful and poetic language that is enjoyable to learn. Imagine being able to impress everyone with those wonderful clicks? Furthermore, remember that Zulu with its traditional storytelling roots also has proverbs and metaphorical language that will pique your interest too.
