A South African language-learning platform for children, parents and adult learners: structured lessons, live classes with vetted educators, bedtime stories, videos and games — across South Africa's official languages plus international African languages. Luthando means love in isiZulu and isiXhosa.

isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sepedi, isiNdebele, siSwati, Sesotho, Setswana, Tshivenda, Xitsonga, Afrikaans and English, plus Swahili, Shona, Lingala, French and Portuguese (marked NEW). See all languages.

Ages 3 to adult. Little ones start in the Early Childhood track with Letters & Sounds; school-age children follow the Foundation Phase track; adult learners have a first-class path of their own.

Real-time video classes with vetted educators, inside the app — no Zoom account needed. Browse educators, view availability, and book an Open Class (from 10 learners), a Group Class (5–9), or One-on-One tutoring. See how it works.

The platform subscription is R90/month and includes all lessons, stories, games and videos, plus one free Open Class lesson. Group Classes are R160 per learner per lesson and One-on-One is R200 per lesson, with 10-pack savings. Full pricing.

If you're a qualified language educator, yes — you set your availability, and Luthando App handles bookings, video, your learner roster and payouts. Apply to teach.
