Learn Shona: Daily Audio Lessons
Speak Shona by ear, one lesson a day
Learn to speak Shona (chiShona) by ear, one lesson a day. You hear a question in English, answer out loud in Shona, then hear the answer from a Shona speaker and repeat it. Each lesson is built around a short conversation, and every word comes back at growing intervals so it sticks. Start with lesson one and play the lessons in order.
The lessons are written by AI and the Shona voices are AI voices. Shona speakers: corrections are welcome at jon@executiveai.studio.
