As we continue to help more and more people to learn African languages on Macs, PCs and mobile devices, Nkyea Learning Systems has just released its new iPhone and iPad language app called Basic Hausa today on the Apple App Store. Basic Hausa joins the company’s growing list of African language and cultural apps, which includes Nkyea Twi Primer, Nkyea Twi Phrasebook, Adinkra E-Cards, My Twi Name and Basic Swahili.
Basic Hausa contains more than 1500 Hausa words and phrases divided in 18 lessons. The app will help a complete beginner to acquire basic competence in the language. Basic Hausa is packed with high quality audio instructions in the Kananci dialect by a Hausa language professional from Kano in Nigeria. Kananci is the standard Hausa dialect.

All the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation to achieve the goal of basic conversational competence are covered. In addition, it includes game elements to help motivate you as you learn by taking quizzes and earning badges. Basic Hausa is all you’ll need to start speaking Hausa.
Basic Hausa is live on the Apple App Store and it costs only $2.99. Check it out now.

I purchased the Learn Swahili programme and it worked fine. However just the other day I downloaded the update and now cannot access the programme at all. When I attempt to do so the initial screen pops up and then immediately goes off. I am using iPad 2.

Have you upgraded to iOS 5?
It does the same for me. – Even with the IOS 5 upgrade.(on iPod touch)
The Nkyea Twi Primer is very helpful! Thanks guys. But…..I’m still waiting on that app for the android phone.
Hi Catina, we are still on it. We hope to release it before Christmas.
Hi Catina, the Android version will come out soon.
