Intensive courses for Chinyanja and Chibemba (10
weeks)

    Takes place from 27 September - 3 December 2010.

    (If wished by the participants, a two weeks extension may be
    added - as requested by last years' participants.)

    The Intensive Course provides a solid foundation for either
    Bemba or Nyanja. Each day consists of three hours intensive
    teaching. The  courses are built on solid linguistic
    foundations and are at the same time 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.

    Teaching takes place Monday - Friday, 09:00 - 12:30 hours.
    Costs: 2,000,000 (10 weeks)


Weekend / evening / private tutoring
    Sometimes weekend- or evening courses can be organised,
    depending on the number of participants and the availability
    of teachers. Please send an email to inquire about the
    possibilities.
