Revitalizing African languages
Learning languages is integral and beneficial to the development of children but also adults. It is never too early or too late to master a new tongue. Our Diaspora Language Learning Centre (DLLC) is a pillar of our value system.
We believe in the importance of not only learning colonial languages such as English and French but the various rich languages that are spoken in various motherlands and beyond the diaspora. Languages in Africa and other parts of the global south are sometimes portrayed as lesser value but we would like to reintroduce some of these languages to individuals in the diaspora.
Our languages are in dying need of revitalization and we have a mission to do just that! In the coming months we hope to expand our language range to Swahili, Twi, Amharic, Oromo, Ishang, Zulu, Shona and so much more!
Check out some of our language courses below brought to you by certified teachers in the diaspora!
