"If you talk to a man in a language that he understands, it goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart."

Nelson Mandela

CHECK OUT OUR NEW, SLIMMED DOWN, ZULU BEGINNERS PRODUCT
With the need to once again reprint our best-selling Zulu Beginners CD-ROM and Coursebook, we opted for a more streamlined packaging design. The CD-ROM is now stored neatly in a pocket on the inside flap of the book itself. No big bulky cardboard boxes, extra jewel cases to misplace or break, just the items you need, book and CD-ROM, always ready together when you need them!
This makes the product slimmer and lighter, so be sure not to miss it when looking for it in your bookshop.
