Since the elections in April 1994, the constitution of the Republic of South Africa recognizes several African languages, of which Zulu is the most widely spoken among non Bantu-speaking people (Whites, Indians and Coloureds). This is a complete course for beginners in Zulu, based on the Council of Europe's guidelines on language learning, and its graded structure includes much exercise material. A cassette tape accompanies the course and can be purchased separately or as part of the book/cassette pack.
