Cynthia aka Zulu Maiden is currently running an excellent podcast where you can learn to speak Zulu.  Each podcast is centred around a theme, such as ‘What’s in your house?’, and she provides a vocabulary list as well as audio recordings to help with pronunciation.

In her own words:

“These are podcasts designed to help you speak and understand isiZulu, one of South Africa’s main languages. You listen to all time best South African music, get a feel of zulu poetry and listen to some tongue twisters.
