Reasons for Private Zulu Lessons

Multilingualism has many benefits for the personal and career lives of individuals.

For anyone who is motivated, ambitious and determined enough to learn a second or third language – in South Africa, there are 11 official languages from which to choose. There’s no doubt, languages are able to open new doors.

A good place to start if you are in Soshanguve is to take private Zulu lessons. If you can read, speak and write Zulu it could help to grow your career especially considering that it is spoken by around 25% of the entire South African population.

Interestingly, even though English, which is the most prolific language in the world, it is only spoken as the first language by one in 10 South African households.  

Apart from Zulu and English, there are 16% of South Africans who speak Xhosa making it the second highest spoken language in the country.  Like Zulu, Xhosa is a Nguni language which means that it shares many of the same words even though they have different meanings. Look out for these:

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

In terms of the kinds of private Zulu lessons available, Superprof tutors are able to offer everything from conversational to advanced Zulu lessons.

Zulu at matric level can be extremely challenging, especially concerning the rigorous setwork requirements. So if you’re confounded by the metaphorical language and multiple tenses and classes that make Zulu so difficult, then finding a private isiZulu teacher is a recommendable step.

The Setwork Book “Impi Yabomdabu Isethunjini”

The story, which revolves around the Ngubane family dynamics is a drama where the main character, Mbhabhadisisi, the oldest son, lives a good life in Umlazi, Durban. His younger sister Linono runs into challenging circumstances when she marries into a rural family who will not accept her fatherless children.

The children taken care of by an uncle at first, but later community pressure to send them to grow up in urban life is where the drama escalates. Everyone expects Mbhabhadisi to step up to the responsibility, however when he doesn’t, he and his wife are perceived as the villains who are unable to get anything right.
