In a recent CapeTalk interview, Lester Kiewit chats with Dr Tessa Dowling, Senior Lecturer in African Languages at UCT and Xhosa course trainer at Skillfully.
They discuss how embracing multilingualism can enrich South African culture and strengthen relationships. They also explore how workplaces can offer opportunities to learn Xhosa, as well as practical ways to start learning the language.
If you’re eager to learn Xhosa, Dr Dowling offers two courses tailored to suit your proficiency level.
Speak Xhosa in Eight Weeks is a beginner’s course for those starting from scratch and wanting to master the basics. The Intermediate Xhosa course focuses on conversation practice, helping learners work towards fluency.
