About

Shona, a principal language of Zimbabwe and also spoken in parts of Africa, namely Mozambique, Zambia, and Botswana. In total, Shona connects over 10 million speakers. It's not just a means of communication; it's a gateway to understanding the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Shona people.

An extensive range of topics are covered throughout the course starting with basic commonly used words and phrases such as introductions/greetings, numbers and colors and then progressing to a range of more sophisticated topics such as adjectives, health, directions, technology, more advanced conversational topics, business-related expressions and the environment.
The audio format ensures that learning can happen anytime, anywhere, whether you're commuting, exercising, or relaxing at home. Plus you can repeat sessions as often as you need to, to attain your target level of comprehension and pronunciation. This flexibility encourages regular practice, a critical factor in language acquisition.
