Intensive courses for Chinyanja and Chibemba (10 weeks)
17 September - 23 November 2012
Teaching takes place Monday - Friday, 09:00 - 12:30 hours.
For beginners
The Intensive Course provides a solid grammatical foundation for either Bemba or Nyanja. Each day consists of three hours intensive teaching. At the same time the course is very practical. The "White Fathers" have an experience of teaching Zambian languages for more than hundred years. The Zambian language teachers are professional, trained, and flexible. For the Bemba course, also language CDs are available. This course demands a full-time commitment from the participants. (If wished by the participants, a two weeks extension may be added - as requested by last years' participants).
Costs: 2,000,000 Kwacha
