Kinyarwanda Club
Advanced Level
This is a social and learning group that helps expats to practice Kinyarwanda language. It is a platform to improve your Kinyarwanda fluency and cultural understanding. This is a less structured and more informal environment than traditional classrooms, where individuals can practice speaking, engage in cultural activities, and learn from other members.
The club explores various topics such as culture (food, music, and traditions which expands participants' knowledge and appreciation for diverse perspectives.), business, local and international news etc..
This is a perfect environment to practice speaking, listening, reading, writing in Kinyarwanda and building a language and cultural community in Kigali.
