  • Thank you for tuning in to watch this episode on how to speak Nyanja. I grew up in Zambia and have a love for the language.If you want to follow along make sure to pick up a copy of the Town Nyanja - www.amazon.com...
    The first practical guide to Nyanja language as it's actually spoken in modern, urban Zambia. For too long, visitors to the Zambian capital Lusaka have arrived with phrasebooks and dictionaries of traditional Nyanja, the kind spoken in Malawi and Eastern Province, only to find themselves laughed at or misunderstood. Zambians living in town today don't speak that kind of Nyanja. Their language has evolved. This Nyanja isn't 'pure', it isn't standardised, and it's only just beginning to be written down. But if you want to actually communicate with the people of Lusaka in their own language - on the street, on the bus, in the market or elsewhere - this is the Nyanja you need. The book includes an introduction to Nyanja sounds and grammar, over 300 useful everyday words and phrases, and A-Z Nyanja-English and English-Nyanja vocabulary.

      @@ZambianSensation I think it's unnecessary cause the people who want to learn Nyanja are probably people who have no trouble getting an American English accent clearly.

      @@elle8388 I actually think it helps more advanced learners understand the accent by showing them how the accent applies to words they are already familiar with. It is an advanced teaching technique.

      Yeah the accent really helps. For example I am a native shona speaker and there are so many similarities with the two languages. The Zambia accent helps me not mix up the shona and nyanja. Keep it up brother!

    This’s a very well articulated language tutorial by a foreign speaker. Well done! I’m an amateur Nyanja speaker myself.
