In a matter of a few short and sweet hours listening to your music player or in your car radio, you can master or remaster a command of the Shona language, giving you confidence on your next phone call or trip to Zim.

What's the difference between feeling out of the loop, out of touch with people in Zim and being able to quickly feel a part of things?

If you observe the people who enjoy their trips to Zimbabwe the most, you'll notice something interesting.

     They connect better with people in Zim.
     They relate by speaking the same language.
     They've got good local language skills.

A True Story

Nyasha moved to the UK from Zimbabwe 15 years ago, and is currently living and working in London.

"learnShona is a real bonus to me. I have family and friends in the UK, but my Shona use has been mostly slang or "Shon-glish" - just using the most basic words. I don't really speak Shona at all like we used to speak back home. I have a holiday coming up in Zimbabwe, and I was embarrassed by the thought of using my Shona with older relatives, who would wonder how I forgot to speak Shona.

I am now taking the learnShona Refresher course, listening on my mobile phone whenever I get the chance, and haven't looked back. After just a few hours, I feel much more confident in my ability to communicate with friends and family back home. I've been able to pick up a lot of vocabulary and expressions that I'd forgotten whilst being in the UK, and even words that I didn't know before! I'd say if you want to speak to family and friends in Zimbabwe confidently then learnShona's courses are definitely for you."
