The Zulu Language
Zulu, or isiZulu as an endonym, is a Southern Bantu language of the Nguni branch spoken in Southern Africa. It is the language of the Zulu people, with about 12 million native speakers, who primarily inhabit the province of KwaZulu-Natal of South Africa.
Zulu is the most widely spoken home language in South Africa (24% of the population), and it is understood by over 50% of its population. It became one of South Africa’s 11 official languages in 1994. According to Ethnologue, it is the second-most-widely spoken of the Bantu languages, after Swahili.
Like many other Bantu languages, it is written with the Latin alphabet. In South African English, the language is often referred to in its native form, isiZulu.

Eden Language Academy's Mission
Since our inception in 2011, we've been passionate about using language as a way to help people improve their intercultural communication skills. By doing so, we strive to create more cultural diversity and inclusivity within the spaces that people operate. At Eden Language Academy we acknowledge and celebrate the interconnectedness of language and culture.
We understand that cultural norms and values play a significant role in the way people communicate and express themselves. As such, our language courses are designed to not only teach you to speak a new language but to also give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of the culture to which the language belongs.
Language Courses for Businesses
Eden Language Academy also offers language training to government departments, municipalities and private businesses. We aim to help organisations cultivate more diverse and inclusive working environments and to contribute to the greater notion of Ubuntu in South Africa. Through our language training we help organisations to bridge language barriers and to redress the inclusion of previously disadvantaged groups.
Our language courses are the ideal solution for businesses who wish to equip their employees with the valuable skill of being able to speak more than just one language, specifically within a South African context where there are 12 official languages.
