Very informative video! Well done. With the language thing its important to also point out that there are so many languages/dialects in Mozambique that after independence it was important to have 1 language that unified people and could allow delivery of services such as education. Moreover, i remember reading about the challenge of tribalism and regionalism in Moz, a way to try to bring unity was also to encourage ppl to see Mozambicans as 1 people and language was a way to achieve this.
I was just there 2 months ago I love Maputo I visited the fishmarket really enjoyed the fishmarket by the way.I can't wait to come back for Christmas!Maputo has my heart ♥️
My fellow Mozambican!! I’m going to follow your TH-cam. I live in Texas in the US, but hope to return soon. Please post more mocambique content. I’m home sick.

I am Mozambican , but I have never been to Mozambique, I was Born in Zimbabwe to Mozambican Parents , and seeing such videos makes me kinda Home sick and I love it, Thank you Girl !!!
I found the buying of properties very interesting. Thank you. I just visited Maputo, but your overview helped to amplify my understanding of the culture and city. Obrigado!
Parabéns Yara pelo teu Video. Muito informativo. Eu vou estar no próximo mês em Maputo. Gostava de visitar uma aldeia tipica moçambicana nos arredores de Maputo para fazer um video brincando com crianças. Alguma sugestão? 😊
Nenhuma sugestão. Só mesmo indo pra Maputo e perguntando. Os bairros normalmente tem crianças mas vai ser preciso pedir autorização dos pais pela imagem delas. Muitos não vão aceitar, e com razão 😄 Tão cansados de turistas que usam as crianças como figurantes
Good job! We live in NJ, USA. We enjoyed this video and learn more about Maputo. We find interesting the fact about the time. In South America the are a lot of people who are always late but they probably don't have the same excuse ;P
Good information I enjoyed your video my African ancestry came back on my father side is Portuguese and mother side Hausa&fulani of Nigeria. I must say this Video reminds me of America non of us knows our true mother tongue.
Hey/Oi 😊 I'm from Poland and I am thinking of visiting Mozambique. I loved the videos (both 1st and updated version). Is it possible to connect with you in a more direct way(than commentaries on TH-cam)? I have so many questions 😅😂
Nice! Unfortunately Moz was closed out from thecrest of Africa by the language barrier. Only 10....need more. Mmm....fluent in Portuese and English (how did get you English..)..but not Xangana... More please. ❤ from 🇰🇪
Yoooo. I live in Maputo Sister, Changana isn't that lost, most of the people even from the town do speak this language and it was only kinda lost here, cuz in Gaza(yes we have a province called Gaza in Mozambique) everyone speaks Changana. Some people from the City of Maputo don't know, but most of them do know. And the places of the town are actually full of not mozambican people. Are Full of tourists. Thanks for your attention, I just wanted to make it clear.
I'm a Zimbabwean in Mozambique at Sena .the area infrastructure is poor and people there are is still uncivilised. Frelimo is just like Zanu Pf in Zimbabwe, they are corrupt and decadent,they are devastating our resources with the Chinese yet we are languishing in the doldrums of poverty
Personal security goes by neighborhoods. I’ve detailed it in my Maputo guide. Power cuts are not as common tbh. I’d say less than 5 times a month. A generator is always best ofc 🙌🏾
Hello Yara First of all, thank you very much for sharing African culture with us. I really enjoy your content. It's great to listen to you and see how much fun you have showing the culture of each African country, which for me is the best🥹❤️😃 Congratulations on this and other videos. I hope to see more videos from you soon showing the incredible culture of other African countries.
Creio que isso da língua também aplica-se a ideia de que os colonizadores não pensavam ir embora. E portanto tudo fizeram para que não houvesse línguas concorrentes ao português.
Hello Yara, Am from India, used to watch your videos.Your volgs are impressive. Can you make a video about foregin investment cons and pros. My self an enterpruner back in India, From last 3 months I did some research on busciness investment friendly african Nations. Currently am looking forward to start a restaurant in Maputo. Please help me out with necessary advises.
My heart is hurting to hear Portuguese killed our Tsonga/Shangaan language. Fortunately in SA the Tsonga/Xangana language is preserved, it will never die. SA had advanced the language. It is daily spoken, taught at schools and some universities. it is official, it is in all forms of literature e.g bible, school books, etc, it is now found in translation English to Tsonga Google, culture is very strong in music etc, and is growing day by day. But I also think Mozambican Shangaan people have got themselves to blame. They should have reversed this Portuguese damage coz Portuguese left the country almost 50 years ago. Introduce the language at school, encourage and teach new generations.
I agree they should take advice from that young president that took over Burkina Faso and change the nation language back to what it’s supposed to be. They just change the language from French to Hausa. Also the top 10 language in the world are mostly European languages which is horrible! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ and Portuguese is one of the leading behind Spanish.
Levei a disciplina a sério desde a 6a classe. Sempre fui uma das melhores da turma à Inglês. Combinei o conhecimento gramático da escola com o que eu assistia em canais americanos: MTV, Mnet, E!, TH-cam. Daí comecei a copiar o que falavam, e o sotaque com qual falavam - isso aos meus 15/16 anos ainda. E foi assim que se fez o meu inglês 😄
Many of the flats in Maputo are run down - the Africans that moved in after 1976 didn’t have the money or the knowledge for the upkeep. It’s actually a tragedy as many white Mozambicans lost their homes. I’m surprised at how you’ve presented history - it’s not what you’ve been told and inter-generational wealth is hard to carry over for depreciating assets. As for the “big” houses - basically the spoils of the war - were taken over by the Numenklatura (communist elites)
The real name of mapoto is maputsu. Government was suppose to change it. Anyway let me not forget to appreciate you for your intellect way of put up informative video and your beautiful accent.
The only things worth seeing in Maputo are what the 'colonizers' built, everything else is rundown, dirty and dangerous. Stay away from Maputo, everywhere else is incredible and the people are kind and friendly.

Very true! I focused on the negative side, but this is definitely a positive - common language, more union! Thanks for sharing 🙂
@@YaraMelAround don't forget your language in the name of 1 language 1 nation. You can have a common language alongside your mother tongue.
Amazing will visit soon from 🇰🇪🤝🏽
I’m glad 🙌🏾😄
Mozambiqan beauty. That's all IM going to say. ❤❤❤❤

I was just there 2 months ago I love Maputo I visited the fishmarket really enjoyed the fishmarket by the way.I can't wait to come back for Christmas!Maputo has my heart ♥️

Parabéns Yara pelo teu Video. Muito informativo. Eu vou estar no próximo mês em Maputo. Gostava de visitar uma aldeia tipica moçambicana nos arredores de Maputo para fazer um video brincando com crianças. Alguma sugestão? 😊
Nenhuma sugestão. Só mesmo indo pra Maputo e perguntando. Os bairros normalmente tem crianças mas vai ser preciso pedir autorização dos pais pela imagem delas. Muitos não vão aceitar, e com razão 😄 Tão cansados de turistas que usam as crianças como figurantes
Love your content Yara

Good job! We live in NJ, USA. We enjoyed this video and learn more about Maputo. We find interesting the fact about the time. In South America the are a lot of people who are always late but they probably don't have the same excuse ;P
Thanks for watching!! Haha maybe being late mostly affects tropical countries because we have more sunlight? Hence ''more time''? 😂Who knows!
what about the islands near Maputo or Maputo National Park?
Ishi 😱😱 Não sabia que fazias videos. Muito menos famosa no youtube. Feliz por te ver. Parabéns 🧡
And wow beautiful video. Very informative. Liked the being late cultural background 😱
Obrigada Remígio! 😁 Espero que estejas bem!

Hey. DM me on Instagram or email me.
Yara Mel you look so beautiful today❤
The original inhabitants were the Amabuda misspelled by the Portuguese as Maputo! Zulu time is the time you leave home!
Coming through to Maputo in September! Is it a good time of the year to come?
It’s a great time. Still chilly from winter but the days are warmer. September and October are my favorite months in Moz 😄
Oh! Just realised you’re from Kampala! Coffee in Kampala vs coffee in Maputo😅? But seriously, favourite things to do in Maputo?
Love this but we are waiting for u to come back to Uganda am waiting the Pearl of Africa🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

Only 10....need more.
Mmm....fluent in Portuese and English (how did get you English..)..but not Xangana...

True, the language isolates us. Thanks for watching! 😁
Are you still here in Maputo?

😁 thanks for watching 🙌🏾
I enjoy your videos sister, land of my family…how do I get a hold of your local language lessons? Please assist
Try duolingo 😁
Yoooo. I live in Maputo

Brother I’m Mozambican myself 😂 E não sei falar Xangana. Os que cresceram comigo também não sabem.
I'm a Zimbabwean in Mozambique at Sena .the area infrastructure is poor and people there are is still uncivilised. Frelimo is just like Zanu Pf in Zimbabwe, they are corrupt and decadent,they are devastating our resources with the Chinese yet we are languishing in the doldrums of poverty

Thank you!!
I have been in Maputo since 2007 but i now speak xangana. I think those who doesn't speak they're language a fools
Uxongile tati/usasekile sesi....you beautiful
Eldoret town Kenya
And you haven't aged a day, from the last video 😅❤
😂 thanks Abigail
Yara, what about cost of living ? How much per month for a one-bedroom apt or flat, equipped and furnished in a good middle-class area of Maputo ?
Cost of living is high. A furnished one bed won’t cost less than $1000 in a nice area 🥲 I find it cheaper to travel 😂
Personal security goes by neighborhoods. I’ve detailed it in my Maputo guide. Power cuts are not as common tbh. I’d say less than 5 times a month. A generator is always best ofc 🙌🏾
@@YaraMelAround
Wow ! And WHO are the persons living in Maputo who can afford a 1 000 USD per month ? Doctors ?

There are plenty of people that speak xangana or Tsonga in Mozambique.
There are many. But many more speak Portuguese 😅
@@YaraMelAround so meaning that Tsonga is mostly spoken in the southern part of the country ?
