Aujourd'hui post éducatif. Eh oui ça nous fera pas de mal! J'ai vu ce projet où on nous propose d'apprendre le isiZulu gratos sur internet. Voilà un article sur le projet Motherland language program. Donc en fait il suffit juste de s'inscrire sur le site internet (c'est par là) pour pouvoir ensuite visionner les vidéos Learn isiZulu in 8 weeks... free!

A South African entrepreneur has launched a language project to teach 1 million South Africans to speak isiZulu in 8 weeks.The Motherland Language program - the brainchild of Motherland founder Kevin McKerr – is launching on the 3 September and will be presented in short video clips, which can be accessed on any PC by visiting Motherland Isiko TV (www.mitv.co.za) or via cellphone through the mitv Bluetooth network.
"We live in the new South Africa and are living the African Renaissance, but many white South Africans can't speak any of the major African SA languages" says McKerr of his motivation for the project.
Motherland Isiko TV is releasing sixteen 1.5 minute video episodes that teach the basics of isiZulu. The episodes will be released every Monday and Thursday morning so that all South Africans receive the same lessons at the same time.
“This means that we can learn and practice the same words and phrases together at the same time” says McKerr.
How it works:
1. Register by sending an email to info@mitv.co.za with ZULU in the subject.
2. Watch the first episodes on www.mitv.co.za to get a taste of what’s to come
3. Tell as many friends, family, work colleagues etc to join the project
“We are relying solely on a viral / word-of-mouth campaign so we are asking all South Africans to participate and spread the word!” says McKerr
Mitv is a cellphone television channel that operates its own Bluetooth network at leading university campuses across SA. The Motherland Language project video clips will be sent out on the mitv Bluetooth network, posted on the mitv website as well as emailed out to South Africans registered for the project.
The project is free to all South Africans who want to be part of breaking down the final barrier of segregation!
Hamba Kahle!
