Autumn Chichewa Language Courses

We exist to help coordinate, represent and support the many people-to-people and community-to-community links between Scotland and Malawi. We are an independent, politically-neutral charity core funded by successive Scottish Governments.Scotland's links with Malawi date back to 1859 and the travels of Scottish explorer Dr David Livingstone.Today, more than 94,000 Scots and 198,000 Malawians are actively involved in community-led partnerships between our two nations.44.5% of Scots -almost half the country- can name a friend or family member with a connection to Malawi, making this one of the world's strongest north-south people-to-people links.

By popular request, as part of our continuing #ChichewaChallenge, we are delighted to announce details of our autumn Chichewa Language classes. 

We have twenty places available for a six-part online course running from the 10th September to the 22nd October. We anticipate that places will go quickly so we encourage members to book asap to avoid disappointment.

The course will take place on Zoom, with 6 x 45-minute sessions, each starting at 7pm, on the following dates:
<ul><li>10th September
</li><li>17th September
</li><li>24th September
</li><li>1st October
</li><li>8th October
</li><li>[Note - no lesson on 15th October, due to school holidays]
</li><li>22nd October
</li></ul>
These courses are perfect for those visiting Malawi (when able to do so) as they include not just Chichewa training but also really useful and insightful information and discussions around Malawian culture. They are led by the brilliant Enock Bamusi and Sarah Niven – a great Malawi-Scotland team in action!
Those taking part in the course will be given copies of a fantastic new 35-page companion booklet for the course. It covers Malawi culture, Chichewa pronunciation, grammar, vocab and useful phrases. 
This first six-part course is being offered at the special introductory rate of just £60 minimum donation, and just £30 minimum donation for SMP Members. To get the Chichewa Challenge started, we are delighted to start at this heavily subsidized rate – so sign up quickly! We will provide payment instructions in the confirmation email.And if you’re signing up, don’t forget to shout about it on social media, encouraging others to join you using #ChichewaChallenge, tagging @ScotlandMalawi.

If you have any questions about the training, or if you already speak some Chichewa and are interested in an intermediary course, please contact craig@scotland-malawipartnership.org.
