UNITY IN LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY
About Ubuntu Talks
Ubuntu Talks embodies the African spirit of Ubuntu — “I am because we are” — using language to connect, empower, and unite communities worldwide. We believe in the power of African languages to bring people together, spark cultural understanding, and foster a sense of shared humanity. At Ubuntu Talks, we don’t just teach languages; we build bridges across cultures, histories, and generations.
Our Mission:
Ubuntu Talks is the leading platform for live and on-demand African language instruction, making it possible for anyone, anywhere, to learn the most spoken and influential languages of sub-Saharan Africa. From Swahili to Yoruba, Zulu to Chichewa, Bemba to Twi, we empower African communities by creating economic opportunities for native instructors and promoting African languages globally.
Why We’re Different
Our platform goes beyond teaching vocabulary — it’s a gateway to Africa’s rich cultures, traditions, and philosophies. Guided by the African principle of Ubuntu, we believe that learning a language is also learning a worldview.
🌍 Authenticity: Over 70% of our instructors are based in Africa, ensuring cultural accuracy and lived context.
📚 Depth: Courses integrate proverbs, oral traditions, songs, and cultural etiquette alongside grammar and vocabulary.
🌐 Access: We deliver African language learning in flexible formats — live lessons, on-demand videos, and crash courses for travelers, NGOs, missionaries, and global businesses.
Our Vision:
We envision a world where African languages are valued as global languages, accessible to learners of all backgrounds. By making languages like Swahili, Zulu, Yoruba, Chichewa, and Bemba part of everyday learning, we foster cross-cultural understanding and empower communities to connect authentically.
