isiZulu

With over 10 million South Africans speaking IsiZulu as a first language, why not break through language barriers today?

Our part-time isiZulu courses focus on teaching you how to communicate in real-life situations. Many varieties of isiZulu are spoken throughout South Africa (with variations between provinces).

At Wits Language School, we teach standard isiZulu, which provides a strong basis from which to learn additional, localised vocabulary. We also cover cultural aspects  to provide a more holistic understanding of the language.
