Tired of not knowing what people are saying?

Eventually, one gets sick of living in a place and not knowing the language.

Please, do yourself a favor, and take some Setswana lessons. It's not hard to learn the basics, especially if taught by the right person.

As far as I can tell, there are very few people who make a living out of Setswana lessons. Nthati is one of them. She's amazing. She's taught Peace Corps volunteers for over a decade, and is willing and able to give private or group lessons. Compared to language courses elsewhere in the world, her hourly asking price of P50 ($7.25) for group and P150 ($21.75) for individual lessons is nothing. Nada. Take the lessons. You will be happy. You will make others happy. You will know when people are talking about you.

Ntwa kgolo ke ya molomo. The biggest battle you can fight is with your mouth.

When it comes to Setswana lessons, Nthati gets it done.
