Description: Read more online, but basically the whole text, audio and video content of my first lesson as taught in my courses, with pronounciations, the clicks, greetings, good-byes as well as cultural tips to help you in everyday interaction. Learn online!

To enter: I have set it up so that guests may enter the site provided they have an enrolment key or password which is "ubuntu".
Click on the above weblink and go to the home page. To get into the course you will need to click on the LearnXhosa Level 1 link in the centre of the page. This will take you to a page where you should enter the enrolment key (ubuntu) and click on "enrol me in this course". From then on you will be able to access the site freely.

NOTE: Do not click Login as you wont be able to access the site. Rather enter the enrolment key (ubuntu) and click on "enrol me in this course".

FEEDBACK including constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.  email:  elearning@learnxhosa.co.za

Just Ask Lusapho | Buza uLusapho nje

This is a forum where you can ask any question that you would like answered relating to the Xhosa language. You may want something translated or grammatical explanations.

Lusapho is the Xhosa word for family, because we turn to our family when we need help. It is also Harrison (Our star teacher) Makubalos Xhosa name and he will likely be the most regular person assisting with your questions. However, all members are welcome to post answers and responses.

UBuntu Bridge, aiming to bring you great service and get you speaking isiXhosa. The password is the Xhosa word for help and can also mean please - Nceda
