WHY LEARN CHICHEWA;
Welcome to the Warm Heart of Africa! In Malawi, you won't run out of friendly, kind and welcoming faces. However, there's a high chance you will miss out on the fun if you don't know how to communicate with the locals. And you can’t always have a translator everywhere you go! Chichewa, also known as Chewa, is Malawi's official language. It is necessary that you learn a few Chichewa phrases and cues, it is then that you can have fun navigating life in this new country and make your time as rich and memorable as possible. Having some knowledge of the Chichewa can make grocery shopping an easier, more pleasant experience. Can’t read the street signs or restaurant menus? Need to ask a local for directions? No matter your motivation, it’s nearly impossible to do on your own. Working with a language tutor is imperative. Fanny at TutorPlus helps you go through new Chichewa words, sentence formulation and intercultural cues.
