Hello, Sawubona, ngiyakwamukela! My name is Siphokuhle Twala and I was born in Kwa-Zulu Natal and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have been an online ESL teacher and Zulu translator for 3 years. I am a cultural enthusiast and met individuals from different countries on this platform. I love traveling, it is my dream to travel for a living. Traveling broadens your mind as you leave your comfort zone and learn about other cultures and traditions. I love adventure too. I am a certified FOODIE, in my world! I love trying out new dishes. I am passionate about teaching. My biggest accomplishment is seeing my students express themselves confidently in the language.

Ngiyabonga Siphokuhle, for the great class today and your patience!!! I'm finally getting some grasp of the amazingly fascinating language of Zulu. I'm looking forward to walking the path of learning it together with you.

It was a really nice lesson with Siphokuhle. Zulu is the most spoken language of Southern Africa and it's also very different from Indo-European languages, having an extremely hard pronunciation for someone who isn't used to consonant clicks but I think we managed just fine. She is punctual, well prepared and willing to help and make sure you are getting the pronunciation right before advancing to new topics. We also reviewed some basic greetings and even practised more pronunciation with some tongue twisters during the class. It was a fun lesson and I'm looking forward to our next meeting and to keep on learning Zulu!

Helena enjoyed this wonderful meeting with her new English teacher Miss Siphokuhle Twala. Twala is very professional and very available. She also has great skills in giving lessons to young people (Helena is 12), because Helena felt very confident with this course and she will surely continue to learn with Twala. #success
