    Hy, I am from Mozambique and I am a native speaker of Changana. I am really glad to know that now I have a website that I can recommend for those who want to learn Changana.
    In fact, I had bad times trying to find resources/ materials for Changana Learners.
    This website is wonderful, first because it will easily make people get in touch with The language I use to talk about, and second because it will immortalize my mother Language…

    I really appreciated

    Kind regards

    Hello! This is a fantastic website and I wish that I had discovered it sooner! I will be visiting Mozambique in September and I would like to just be able to say “Pleased to meet you” in Changana. If you could help me with that I would be grateful. Thank you!

      Hi Zama

      Great feedback thanks. As Zulu and Changana are Bantu languages and quite related, I am sure you will soon both be fluent in each other’s language 🙂

    Wow, I´m just so surprised and happy that I found your website. I lived one year in Mozambique and first I had to learn Portuguese. Later on I also tried to learn Changana but I had a hard time learning with other people because when I started asking “What means….in Changana/Portuguese” they often couldn´t really explain that well or lost themselves in stories 🙂
    So thanks a lot for this site!

      Great news, Ines! Very happy to hear you like the site. I know what you mean, I have also run into the same problem. I guess part of the reason is that local languages are not taught in school in Mozambique. While many Mozambicans speak their local language they have never learned it properly and sometimes struggle when it comes to grammar and explaining. They will always love seeing foreigners interested in their language though.

      Changana has its name from Soshangane, a warrior sent out by the Zulu King Shaka to conquer the Tsonga people in the area of present-day Mozambique.
