Example Curriculum
Who is this course for?
This course is perfect for anyone who wants to travel to South Africa. With Xhosa being one of the main languages in South Africa, basic knowledge of the language will help you navigate around with ease, and help you feel more connected to the culture and the people.
It is also for non-governmental organization that do work in South Africa. Basic knowledge of the language will help you communicate and build deeper connections with the local community.
We have also designed this with expatriates living outside of South Africa. Being travelers ourselves, we know how easy it is to loose language and not be able to hand it down to your children. We have made sure that this course is child friendly and you are able to learn it with the whole family :)
