Language & Cultural services
1. Tuition (from basic to comprehensive)
1.1 Greetings and easy essentials A very little bit of knowledge of the local language goes a lot further in Malawi than in most other countries. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, greetings are disproportionally important in Malawi compared to elsewhere. When you know how to greet people you will transform first impressions and you will find yourself on a much stronger footing than most expats. Secondly, Malawians have exceptionally low expectations regarding what outsiders can say and understand in their language.
1.2 Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced lessons We can take you from an introduction to the languages through to advanced studies. You can join a scheduled class on tailor the tuition according to your own requirements or interests. Group classes, one on one lessons, learning through music, intensive courses, Chichewa for specific purposes (e.g. medical work, church) and combining language with culture can all be arranged. We also can provide lessons in other local languages.
