So you want to learn Chichewa: to make a trip to Malawi more interesting, to impress a partner or friend or ‘just because’? If you want a book that breaks the learning down into easy bite-sized steps, look no further – you’ve just found your book!
This is the most straight-forward Chichewa learning book written by a native bilingual speaker. Like many Malawians that grow up in Blantyre or Lilongwe, Heather grew up speaking English and Chichewa simultaneously.
She wanted to teach her English husband some Chichewa but couldn't find a book that broke the language down into simple lessons. They were all a little dull and far too complex. Learning should be fun!
So Heather took matters into her own hands: she created her own series of lessons for her husband. They shared them on YouTube and, based on the response, they decided to organise them into a nifty little book – enter, Chichewa 101. So you can hear how the words are actually said, get the audio book too.
Spare just 30 minutes per day and you’ll complete the series and master the basics in just over three months.
