• Interaction with people in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique depends on some comprehension of the Shona language.

The Shona language is spoken by roughly 11 million people in the world, but it is primarily spoken in Zimbabwe. Despite being forced to sacrifice so much, Zimbabweans have not lost their humor or resolve. With so few visiting the country, those who do can expect royal treatment. And what better way to experience Zimbabwe than to understand the local language.

While the world’s media focuses on the fall of Zimbabwe, visitors will see a very different image of the country. From the absolute wilderness of Mana Pools National Park, the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the mountains looking over Mozambique in Eastern Zimbabwe, to fine dining in Harare or bungee jumping over Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe offers something for everyone.

Shona is also spoken in Mozambique, Zambia and Botswana.

Here are some of the basic Shona phrases that you will use often:

• Wakadini zvako? (How are you?)
• Uve nezuva rakanaka! (Have a nice day!)
• Chimbuzi chiripi? (Where is the toilet?)
