Sesotho TeacherI had the rewarding experience of teaching Sesotho to Americans and Germans, introducing them to the Sesotho's unique structures and cultural richness. It was exciting to watch my students go from curious beginners to confident speakers, able to engage in meaningful conversations. I tailored lessons to their individual goals, making learning both practical and enjoyable, while fostering a deep appreciation for Sesotho culture.

It was a great first lesson. We went through pronunciation of Sesotho sounds and even started to form sentences. Mapalo encouraged me throughout the lesson and I learnt a lot!
