The lessons being posted, you will have things to look over between classes. I plan on coming to class with the next week's lessons ready to be posted so unless you really go fast and are in advance, the translation would not be a problem.

For some reason I think I missed this thread. I'm on board, depending on the format, and the time/date is good for me.

The goal would be to acquire and apply the basics of KIKONGO (Kimanianga) as quick as possible.

These are the primary resources that will be used :
"NZOLELE NAZONZA KIKONGO" By Ne Nkamu Luyindula
"TUALONGUKENO KIKONGO, Kimanianga" By Ne Nkamu Luyindula

I plan on scheduling it on Wenesdays around 4pm EST and possibly on Mondays at the same time.
Are you interested in joining this group ?
What is your availability (days/time of the day) ?
