Searching for Zulu Language Lessons for Beginners? 

Being multilingual has endless benefits for both careers and personal lives.

If you are an ambitious, motivated and determined South African, there are 11 official languages to choose from – learning one or two as a second language could potentially open new doors.

One place to start is to take Zulu language lessons for beginners. Being able to read, speak and write Zulu, especially to help you grow in your career, could help give you the edge because it is spoken by 25% of South Africa’s population.  

It’s worth noting that even though English is the most widely spoken language in the world, in South Africa it is the native language for only one in 10 households.  

Besides English and Zulu, a further 16% of South Africans speak Xhosa, this makes it the second most widely spoken language in South Africa, however like Zulu, it is classed as a Nguni language which means that you should look out for these potentially confusing words. They sound and read the same, but have different meanings: 

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

The story takes shape because of his younger sister Linono who marries into a farming family who do not acknowledge her fatherless children. At first, Linono and Mbhabhadisi’s uncle looks after the children, but after succumbing to community pressure he sends them back to Durban to experience urban life. At this point, it’s expected that Mbhabhadisi will step up to take responsibility for them, but instead, he and his wife make mistake after mistake and become the story villains.
