Is NKENNE Free? Here’s Everything You Need to Know
By: Chimdindu Ken-Anaukwu
When exploring a language learning app, one of the first questions people ask is, "Is it free?" At NKENNE, we’re all about transparency, so let’s break it down for you.
Yes, NKENNE Is Free—But That’s Just the Beginning
Yes, NKENNE offers a free plan. When you download the app, you get three free lessons in any of the nine African languages we currently offer: Amharic, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Zulu, Somali, Swahili, Twi, and Nigerian Pidgin.
These lessons are designed to give you a meaningful introduction. You’ll learn essential vocabulary, phrases, and cultural insights to help you connect with the language on a deeper level. Think of it as a sneak peek into the rich tapestry of Africa’s linguistic heritage.
What Happens After the Free Lessons?
Once you complete your free lessons, you can upgrade to our premium version, which offers:
Advanced Lessons: Take your learning to the next level with in-depth grammar, sentence construction, and conversational skills.
Live Tutors: Connect with native-speaking tutors to refine your skills in real time.
Interactive Features: Enjoy quizzes, challenges, and progress tracking to stay motivated.
Cultural Insights: Learn the traditions, proverbs, and customs tied to each language.
More Languages Are Coming in 2025
We’re not stopping at nine languages! By January 2025, NKENNE will include six more languages:
Kinyarwanda (Rwanda)
Shona (Zimbabwe)
Lingala (DRC and Congo-Brazzaville)
Portuguese (spoken in Angola, Mozambique, and beyond)
French (widely spoken across Francophone Africa)
Wolof (Senegal and The Gambia)
These additions reflect our commitment to making NKENNE the ultimate hub for African languages and cultures.
Why the Free Model?
We believe language is a bridge to culture, and everyone deserves the chance to learn, no matter their budget. The free lessons provide a strong starting point, while the premium version supports our mission to expand and enhance the app.
