Learn isiXhosa, clicks included.

HelloTutor came first. The maths work in the Eastern Cape grew from it.

It was built to teach authentic isiXhosa. The first problem was the sound. Not one of the available voices could say the complex clicks, so we built one that could.

What you learn

Lessons are grouped into 12 units across three levels. You start with greetings and work up to the hardest click words in the language.

• Beginner. Foundations, numbers from one to twenty, and family.
• The three click families. Dental clicks (the "c" family), alveolar clicks (the "q" family) and lateral clicks (the "x" family), then telling them apart.
• Intermediate. Harder words in each click family, then all three mixed.
• Advanced. The most challenging isiXhosa click words, ending in a final mastery quiz.

How it works

• Listen. Every word is recorded by isiXhosa speakers.
• Speak. Record yourself and compare your pronunciation.
• Keep going. Quizzes, streaks and spaced review bring words back until they stay.
