I am an ESL teacher and just received a new student from Zimbabwe. I greeted her in Shona and her eyes lit up! Thank you for this video! It made our first meeting so special!!!!
My husband is Zimbabwean and I am trying to learn Shona. Especially so I can respect his family when they visit. Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you Elena I will add more content for you I really appreciate your support.
Chi Shona
@@vimbaimanyepera6209 i dont even know how to speak shona but i know some words
like unjani
My home helper is speaking Shona I want to surprise her😁😁😁
do you have wasap
Wakadii rozi, please am about coming to Zimbabwe to earn a living... Please I want you to put me thru... I will appreciate if you did
In Zimbabwe “home helpers” are called Sisi that is to say Sister . So if her name is Thato, we say Sisi Thato
Thank you so very much for the lesson you truly are a princess I suffer from spinal cancer and have a wonderful team of carers many of whom are Shona speakers and I was looking for some words that would show them how special they are and how much they mean to me and I thought what better than to show them respect for their language thank you so much for your help❤
Jesus, you are beautiful 😍 I've had many friends from Zimbabwe and South Africa, and Shona is a beautiful language to listen to. I find the languages in the Southern portion of Africa are so warm, and sing-song-y. And my friend's Zimbabwean Mom got me addicted to ox tail back in the day. Very good food!!
I love Shona....am Xhosa
Am learning da language
I would also like to learn xhosa. I am Shona 😎
wow she's beautiful and I'll love to learn her language.
Thank you for the compliments feel free to learn Shona I will be so happy.
I want to travel to Zimbabwe someday and while studying about it, of course I wouldn’t let the languages/daily local dialects aside, so I’m running to know a little more about everything that composes this beautiful country. Thanks for the video and a great hug from Brazil 💕
Thank you Tatiana will share more
That's we're Afro Brazilians come from
Enjoyed this session. Let’s celebrate our language. Makes me a proud, former Shona teacher.
Thank you Mr Kaluza. You were the best teacher. May the Lord continue to bless you 🙏🏿
I’m trying to learn Shona for my fam

Looking forward to view your new lesson. I got my friend here so ots nice to know them better.
Thanks was helpful! Have a new guy from work from Zimbabwe. So I’m learning Shona
I lived in mutare for two years and it makes me laugh knowing this is how I sounded when I first got there. Murungus would absolutely butcher everything. It would sound more like mack-a-dee. It took me awhile to learn but I absolutely love the language!
Hey Keagan I’m glad you love the language. We all start from somewhere in learning the languages . I am learning Spanish and when I meet my friends who speak the language they will be laughing 😂 because I will be butchering their language. The good thing is we all learn at the end of the day. Thank you for your support
mack-a-dee is how I used to say it too, and I'm shona 😂😂
Thank you for this video! its true shona is so sweet, it calms me to speak in shona. I stayed in Zimbabwe some years ago, best years of my life!
Please keep teaching us:) You are wonderful ❤ I hope you and your family is well. God's 🙌 blessings on you my sister.
I have a sudden interest in learning Shona and this is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
This is the BEST! Thank you so much.
I like your style of teaching. You get to the point...Really appreciated...
Thank you for your support I really appreciate it.
I'm so excited to learn shona💯❤️
Thanks 👍 you i am trying to learn new language from African.
This language is poetic and easy to learn. It took me a week to add humour to basic phrases. God bless my neighbours and to Hell with SA'n Afrophobes
👍 beautiful thanks I am trying to learn.

You are so pretty_ Shona girls are gorgeous. Wakanaka!
Hello! I am Mexican and my partner is from Zimbabwe. You are correct!!!! I really think its very sweet when they speak Shona, very relaxing language but super lively when spoken fast! Thank you for showing us words and you are great language teacher!! I really like when you explained the differences of "Ma-" and "Wa-" , I assume that similar to a prefix that's added in order to indicate respect or friend/casual talk. Overall, thank you and hopefully your family and you are safe!
Thank you so much fam. Let’s make a deal teach me Espanol and I teach you shona. Thank you for the support
I am British Pakistani and my boyfriend is Zimbabwean. He speaks Shona and I stopped by to learn a few cool phrases to impress him.

Wow thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your language!!! I'm going to practice and make a language wall.
Aware thank you Ten’e I really appreciate your amazing support I will post more content
I'm sending your you tube posts to my daughter... she is going to visit her fiancé' very soon in Zim & I want her to be able to greet the family properly ...hoping she will gain some favor. I am very excited for she & her little ones but, also a bit concerned with layovers in other countries on the way and the state of global safety. Thank you for your kindness, your beautiful posts and reminding us, who have never been how beautiful it will be there for travelers.Also, I am teaching my grandsons (her children ) the 10 basic words their father taught me so they don't "lose" the language and can learn more too.
Awwwee thank you so much I really appreciate you.

Thanks Lesha ! I will add more content like this
Love learning
I am doing a project for school and we have to pick a country to do our project on, I chose Zimbabwe, everyone was making fun of me because of the food in Zimbabwe and all of the crime. But I didn’t care because every part of the world, every culture is beautiful in its own way. 🥰But we have to learn to greet in the language most common in the country we chose. So this video was extremely helpful, thank you.🙏🥰
Also, you hair is absolutely gorgeous😍
Hi Kiylah! I'm so glad the video was helpful. Thanks for choosing Zimbabwe on your project. In terms of crime Zimbabwe have a low crime rate though. I like the way you are so passionate about your project keep it up!
I love speaking shona
I learned a lot
Wonderful
I ENJOYED WITH YOUR TEACH.

I like shona more than any language in Africa, though I don't know how to speak it.🇲🇼Malawi
Thank you for watching Stafford. Im glad you like shona i will add more content for you.
I think Malawians you're just our brothers by blood by fate , remember Rhodes realized to make a prosperous Africa he needed all Bantus in one Federal gvt
In Zimbabwe there's probably more Malawians than Malawi , chewa is also an official language
Teach us girl😘😘😘
Simply Gee thank you 😊
New subbie. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much I really appreciate.
love your energy , a few more takes will perfect your videos and present them as effective as you like them to be , watched this video along with my nephew 10 and niece 6 born in the UK ,who are really keen on learning . thank you please keep posting more .
Thank you so much for the support Miri it really means a lot to me. 😊
I just surprised our Domestic here in Cape Town with your greetings and she was dumbfounded, she is such an angel and I love your culture so much, not even to speak of the pap!
She is not a domestic, she is Sisi, thats Sister to you.
My volunteer leader is from Zimbabwe and I want to surprise him
I'm learning Hebrew and Shona. This is great. Waita zvako
Thank you for your feedback really appreciated
shona is one of the paleo hebrew languages- bantu languages - you are probably learning Yiddish ----- do some research
I am a Hebrew speaker
Waswera sei princes
Shona is so simple the spelling and the sound matches no complicated spellings
Hi I'm Shona ☺
Hello Shona it’s nice to meet you at the Shona content channel
Keep teaching our language to the world. Lets enjoy and celebrate it. our shona kutapira. Ramba wakadaro hama yangu
Great video, my girlfriend learnt a lot from it but the only thing I want to say is that MA is not succeeded by a name but rather a TITLE, so MA-swera or MA-kadini is always followed by a respectful title like Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother, aunt or uncle....keep it up, you should teach more Shona.
Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it.
A new language to me however notable identity is good.
I love your dress! Where can I buy it from?
Quite interesting with the Makadii or wakadii...it follows that French has the same concept too. Addressing a senior or superior with 'Vous' as well for plural.
Noticed also that like in Uganda with our Bantu languages, Shona doesn't 'genderise' verbs or nouns like many ancient languages have in their vocabularies. Simple language structure to learn. Am picking up fast, thanks!
Makadi gogo is that how are you grandma
Have you thought about making more videos about the shona language?
Can anyone recommend me more Shona resources? Growing up I spoke Shona fluently but have forgotten a lot since living in England and having fewer opportunities to practice. My listening/ understanding is still pretty good, so I want more TH-camrs/ podcasts etc that are in Shona that I can listen to to help me get back my vocabulary.
Tatenda chaizvo 👏🏽
Thanks for this, but how do we respond? I love this language
I sleek shona
I am still learning
I love u so much. What is shona for this?
Hi. Do you still make videos please? I've started to learn Shona.
Yes
Love this , you are a good teacher i learnt a lot . Thank you . Its almost like my language Tshivenda
Shumie M thank you
Ilove this language even my boyfrien call he shona hhhhhhhh but let me ask you is it good to call my boyfriend shona
My parents are from Harare and I was born In The uk and I know no shone thx for the help
Hello Josh Welcome. Feel free to ask if you have any specific questions about the language
Thx ☺️
Gosh all along I've been greeting my Shona friends as 'marara sei'🤦♀️ thanks for the lesson
It's correct
Marara sei is perfect, it’s a question How was your night/sleep?
When you say you add their name in front of the greeting, do you actually mean 'after' the greeting?
neoberi yes after thanks for correcting me. English is my second language so I’m not really good at it.
@@rozviprincesstv5536 Really you are terrific. Unoshamisa.
This is awesome and I would like to learn more
Superwoman
Please I would like you to translate a shona song for me I really love shona songs but I don't understand them
Enjoyed the lesson..but how do I respond..
Wish I would meet lady like her...would learn Shona for only this reason😎
Thank you i can't want to surprise my assistants ladies 🙏😍😍
