Cath Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Anyone interested in Zulu Or Xhosa languages?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguaholic Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I am definitely interested in it but I can't speak it. It would be nice if you could give me (us) a short introduction about those languages. I would love to learn some basics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWL Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 It's interesting because I'm in Istanbul for a few days. There is a South African gentleman (actually he's from Lesotho, which is a landlocked country inside South Africa) who speaks Sesotho, a language related to Xhosa and Zulu and they use exotic click sounds too (although not as many as in Xhosa and Zulu). I believe I posted a clip a while back of Miriam Makeba singing in her native Xhosa langauge. It sounds incredibly beautiful and exotic.

lovemwaf Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I only know one or two words and there is not a lot that i can say apart from Kunjani. There are a lot of languages in south africa and so it is hard to pick out one and be able to learn the language in a short space of time.

Meerkat Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Well, if anyone is interested, here are a set of resources for learning Zulu...(I will be interested, at some point...)http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/zulu.phphttp://www.learnzulu.co.za/http://learn101.org/zulu.phphttp://mylanguages.org/learn_zulu.phphttp://www.effectivelanguagelearning.com/language-guide/zulu-languagehttp://www.memrise.com/courses/english/zulu/Sorry about dragging up an old thread, but I felt the need for our fellow Zulus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATASHA Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sawubona! great to see this here and I think I might have to refresh my memory because I have forgotten so much. I know what comes next but to spell it is another story altogether. Xhosa I would never learn because it sounds difficult and I grew up with Zulus so it is familiar.

Asaase Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I would love to learn Zulu or Xhosa. I like a lot of South African music and it's all in Zulu or Xhosa. I would like to have a better understanding of what I am listening to so that it can all make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
