Christmas is finally upon us!
We thought why not sing our well wishes to you and yours. So this is how we sing the Christmas song in isiZulu.
Enjoy this one!
During Christmas, some families have it as a prerequisite to have a gift before even coming to the lunch or dinner. They are still upholding one of the longest standing traditions of the world to gift each other something for Christmas.
So, when this is something you do annually and suddenly someone just stops getting the gift; this is the question to ask.
This is how you ask 'Where is my gift?'

Ever since COVID-19 started and we have been occasionally summoned to watch the President's address regarding the restrictions that will be followed to stay safe in the country.
We now call these 'family meetings' even.
Whenever there is conversation of a looming lockdown, this is a question most people will ask.

Among some of the most said words in South Africa is the word 'loadshedding'. That is because we have learned to plan our lives around it at work, at home and for our social lives.
So to always make sure that the next place you're going to has electricity and isn't experiencing a certain 'Stage 3/4 loadshedding', you need to politely ask this question.
Another week, another Khuluma Nathi lesson with uThisha Sky. Christmas is closer than we think and holiday plans are in the books for so many people. This year, especially, will see more people having extensive December plans because last year we had COVID-19 restrictions. So, if you are curious where your colleague or friends will be headed this December, this is how you ask them.
Take a listen - class is in session!
With Black Friday happening soon, this is one of those things you would say to the store/floor assistants if you liked a certain shirt or shoes and wanted your specific size.
So don't be scared to confidently ask for your size.
The team have been flying in and out of Durban for the past few weeks. And with Keri Miller always having the worst experience in terms of the people sitting next to her, she always manages to sneak to a spot in the plane that has no one.
She obviously needs to make sure that there is no one seated at the spot before she can take it. So the same can be said for you wherever you are in the world.
Say you really want to take a rest after a jog or want to sit on a bench where the sun is directly hitting, this is how you ask in isiZulu "Is there someone sitting here?"
Another lesson with uThisha Sky!
In today's lesson we teach you how to say something that so many people would like to ask when in restaurants or in shops when they receive bad service.
You will love this one.
With Sky having a horrible time on Monday following Manchester United's loss, it has become really important for people to find out which team other people support just to be insensitive.
In this Zulu lesson, you get to learn how to do the courteous thing of asking which team someone likes.
Class is in session! Listen here:
With the municipal elections taking place in South Africa on the November 1, 2021; it's best you remind your colleagues, family and friends to practise their right to vote.
So here, this is how you say it.
Hey, class is in session once again!
uThisha Sky is back with that Khuluma Nathi classes and lessons. He teaches Darren a line he wants to use on his dogs.
It might just sound a little impossible and unreal but you can definitely get this one!
The final instalment of Sky Tshabalala's 'Khuluma Nathi' teaches you the perfect response to introductions.
As it seems to be wedding season with bridal pictures flooding the different social media platforms, when your daughter or son introduces their partner this weekend at dinner YOU should know exactly how to respond with this one.

Given that South Africans love a good braai or as we like to call it - shisa nyama! But there are the select few who would choose to decline a big, fat steak and would rather settle for a leafy salad (and their numbers are growing). Of course, we're talking about vegetarians and vegans! To avoid being seen as rude, you can now tell everyone why you're choosing not to eat at the next braai.
If you don't know yet, DKS are busy hosting KZN's most exciting spelling bee - The Last Kid Standing. Seeing as all these fourth graders have to put their knowledge to the test and prove that they are the best speller, uThisha Sky Tshabalala thought it would only make sense to keep with a school theme this week! Take a listen to today's lesson, where Darren Maule almost made a HUGE mistake...
We love the smell of braai in the evening! But there are also many other reasons why you would need a nice little roll. So why not use uThisha Sky Tshabalala's latest class to help you get that bread?! Make sure to listen to the full podcast so that you get the full classroom experience.
While selfies are still very much a thing in 2021, sometimes when you are traveling or visiting a new place you don't want a selfie to be the only memory you have. When you are in pairs or a group, one of you could take a nice picture but that would mean that someone is always left out of the photo. The solution? Learn how to ask someone for help without having to worry about a language barrier!
After uThisha Sky Tshabalala taught the class how to pronounce isiZulu place names, the students wanted more. Apparently, people have been struggling with some isiZulu surnames as well. Seeing as someone's name is quite an important part of their identity and self, we wouldn't want to insult anyone by getting it wrong. And asking the person might make things a bit awkward, so Sky is here to help!
With everything that's going on in the world, it's about time everyone came to the realisation that global warming, plastic pollution, and all those ad environmental things are a serious concern. uThisha Sky is hoping to do his part and help create awareness by teaching you how to say "no thank you!" because you are obviously bringing your own reusable bag to the grocery store.
Sky Tshabalala is taking matters into his own hands because he is fed up with people mispronouncing the place names in KZN. If you live here you should be able to pronounce them the proper way so instead of leaving you to figure it out yourself, uThisha Sky is here to help! Learn the correct pronunciation of places like Unhlaanga, Umhloti and more.
Many local businesses have been struggling throughout this pandemic and that's why it's more important than ever to show your support. Now, language doesn't have to be a barrier and you can easily ask for someone's contact details. How helpful! This might also be one of the most successful Khuluma Nathi episodes to date. Darren Maule and Keri Miller killed it and the rest of KZN disappoint either. Call us impressed and uThisha Sky was definitely happy to hear so many wonderful attempts.
