Disagreeing with respect
isiZulu conversation values respect, especially with elders. Soften a disagreement with phrases like Mhlawumbe (perhaps) or Ngicabanga ukuthi (I think that) rather than a blunt contradiction. A tutor can show you how tone carries this.
That is one module. 10 more follow in this guide, with 16 interactive exercises.
