We currently have 3 levels of Xhosa and are busy completing Level 4. So unless you are fluent, there is always something you can learn, or revise.

We have many people join our courses who have studied Xhosa before, and they all say they found our courses and materials the most practical and well structured.  

So they often get benefit from starting at Level 1 and even if they move quickly, they find foundational elements vey empowering.

You can always look at the assessment for a level to see if you are ready for it, or the one before!  

Each level has summaries and assessments that show what you should know, understand and be able to use before moving on to the next level.

You can always look at the assessment for a level to see if you are ready for it, or go back to the one before!

If you don't know any Xhosa or are are mostly starting should def start at Level 1. 

And if you think you are ready for Level 2, then make sure you can ace the Level 1 assessment!

Our Level 1 content is designed for absolute beginners.  We have had children and octogenarians successfully enjoy and complete our courses.  If you don't know any Xhosa or are are mostly starting should def start at Level 1. If it is too basic for you we will upgrade you to the next level for free.  

They are moderately paced, but it is subjective. They are designed for working, busy adults, but do require at least an hour or two of homework dedication/practice weekly. For self-study courses, you could move at any pace you wanted, but two lessons a week is about right to integrate and practice.

Yes, from time to time we offer workshops and live courses (usually in Cape Town, or wherever advertised), as well as corporate/group services, courses, presentations, etc. And we have our rural YhoXhosa yoga and Xhosa retreats. But primarily our offerings are always available online.

Yes we do, on request. A certificate of competence can be issued on completing the online course and passing the assessments. Spoken assessments are not always included in all packages, but are offered at the end of courses, or can be arranged at regular intervals.

At this time we don't offer specific language products for kids, but we do have some advice and options.

1. a) Exposure:  Get them exposed to hearing the language regularly, ideally through living people in your community and surrounds, but also via radio (umhlobo wenene FM), TV, music, etc, which you can probably google quite easily "Xhosa kids TV shows on Youtube" for example. 
2. b) Role-Models: Also children learn by their parent's example, so if you are learning with them through their process, that would be great for all of you. In which case you could join any of our programmes that suit you. Many of our students say that their children love listening and following along to our podcast and downloadable audio package: https://www.learnxhosaonline.com/store
3. c) Immersion: Find extended opportunities to introduce your child to periods of being immersed where the target language is primarily spoken 95% of the time.  For instance, holidays, working, volunteering in Xhosa speaking communities in urban townships or rural villages, or elsewhere.
