MY
STORY
My name is Bryan Stone, aka Zamani (meaning “the tryer” in isiZulu).
I was given this name at varsity; I would try out my broken isiZulu with one of the security guards and after a while he called me Zamani.
My journey with learning isiZulu has been wonderfully rewarding, and has made me feel deeply South African since I have been able to connect more deeply with the people of my country.
I completed my Bachelor (majoring in isiZulu) in 2010 and have been teaching ever since.
​
Using storytelling and the comprehensible input teaching method, I have come to much greater fluency in isiZulu, as well as teaching myself Spanish, French, Thai and Vietnamese.
