XHOSA SKOOL

Fun, Practical Conversational Xhosa for High-Schoolers

Give your child the confidence to speak Xhosa — even if their school doesn’t teach it.

We teach real Xhosa — the way people actually use it.

Through:

  • Short, fun daily content

  • Live online sessions with mother-tongue tutors

  • Real-world conversational practice

  • A supportive community of learners

Who is it for?

  • Speak isiXhosa confidently

  • Make friends across cultures

  • Feel connected in South Africa

  • Improve school marks or meet varsity language requirements

Led by a team of experienced mother-tongue Xhosa tutors and teachers, supported and trained by Craig Makhosi.

20+ years of proven results (since Jan 2006. Thousands of students. A joyful, practical approach that works.
