OMG, this is so confusing, which membership do I get?
Dear students,
What I’m trying to create here is a vibrant, supportive language learning community — one where people show up consistently, support each other, and pay a way more affordable rate than a full course… but still make real progress.
The VISION that Im aiming for with sufficient members is kind of like a yoga studio:
You drop in for different sessions each week — some for vocab, some for conversation, some with different teachers or themes — but you build consistency, confidence, and connection over time.
To make that possible (and keep it alive), I need people to commit to the best membership they can afford. You’ll notice these prices are way lower than our regular facilitated courses — and you can cancel anytime (unless you grab a discounted long-term deal).
I am taking a risk by promising long-term support for very low financial commitment and it will only work out if we get lots of students joining. So I do hope you can support us at this time so that we can support you moving forward.
Here’s the breakdown:
🟢 LITE Membership
-
1 community call a month
-
Access to chunk style “Xhosa Lite” course lessons only (via Kajabi platform)
-
Great for dabblers or tight budgets, but no full course content
🟡 BASIC Membership
-
2 community calls a month
-
Access to the full beginner course + practice material
-
Perfect if you want steady progress without overwhelm
🔴 STANDARD Membership (MOST VALUE)
-
4 community calls a month (that’s weekly!)
-
Access to ALL course content, practice decks, and more
-
Access to the Member support CHAT group
- Best for consistent learners who want to level up fast
From AUGUST, we’ll be adding options for 1-on-1 coaching and focused learning pods — but for now, Standard is the best value, and gives you the most support and access.
👉 So choose what works for you — and know that your membership helps keep this community alive and growing.
With gratitude and enthusiasm,
Craig Makhosi
Founding Director & Head Coach, UBuntu Bridge
