I came to South Africa at the age of 16 From America and i went to a private school in Kzn ,i did Zulu and Mandarin , and i can hold conversation in isiZulu now.IsiZULU helped me get closer to the natives of this country
@@siyabongangamlana2381 No my parents are South African but i hardly spent time with them .I was staying with an Italian family in Brooklyn ,only saw them after a long time .I hated that but i understood years later as to why they did that .
If they learn to speak isiZulu they'll also be able to speak 1. IsiNdebele 2. Isixhosa 3. Iswati. It's a great investment. English is also my first language and learning isiZulu changed the game for me.
This video touched my heart man. God bless that girl that kept checking up on Chase in every class. Every parent's prayer for their child starting at a new school is for them to be protected and guided by their guardian angel
This is the nicest video I have ever watched. My joy is seeing our girl Chelsea this happy and excited and she already made more friends on the very first day. This girl is got it. I used to think she was an introvert but I see she coming out. It’s beautiful to watch. I would recommend that she takes Zulu. She will enjoy it and it will help her to easily communicate with her peers and she will learn a lot about culture which will make her stay here more beautiful. About students getting up to greet teacher when they walk in, it’s a sign of respect and it’s a culture that is preserved in our school. I am watching for the second time and I feel this video is too short. You should have let the kids continue. This is an unfinished business , you still owe us 😂.I can’t wait for part 2 ❤
Ncooh man this is sweet and cute at the same time to see the kids enjoying themselves and integrating well with other kids their ages. The second most spoken language outside English in South Africa is isiZulu, I think it would be beneficial and exciting to learn vernacular languages
The other advantage of choosing isiZulu is that she’ll be able to understand and communicate with people who speak isiXhosa, isiNdebele, and IsiSwati….
27:15 yes saphaza it means scatter. ilanga - is a sun inyanga - is a moon You always begin with the vowel ' i ", when you talking about a " thing " just like in English when you use " it " but when you are talking about the person, you begin with " u ".
Zulu is the most spoken language in South Africa. Learning Zulu you'll automatically understand Xhosa, the second most spoken language which is similar to Zulu
Honestly this was actually great, I wouldn't mind if it was an hour long until they finished their story. Kids are usually curious and will ask many questions at school when new students arrive. I'm happy that their first day went well. Will be looking foward to the next video
I'm back again, so this is the first day of school i ever heard that was so positive. But can i just say i looooove to hear Chelsea say, "and Mommy." It warms my heart.
Ita very nice to listern to ur kids,they are soo cute and beautiful....I will suggest Zulu as the language,because with isiZulu u can go to every corner of SA and even outside of SA neighboring countries, majority of people understands it.
They gonna be great here in SA, thank you guys for bringing these kids to the mother land they look like they will love it here. I had both smiles and tears on their impression, I wish most African Americans can come back to Africa for good.
Black Americans are Rock Stars in Africa - especially South Africa. All the best at school. Prefects assist in discipline and running the school. Its a leadership position and training for the older students...
Study Zulu it will make your life way much more easier in terms of building relationships and you can use it in daily life which will assist in learning it quicker
I am glad school went well for you guys. Hope you guys will enjoy it and learn and grow in South african school. There are plenty of teachers with a passion to teach kids.
Love this . I hope she ends up taking Zulu . its such a beatiful language and I think being in south Africa its a huge advantage because most people speak and understand Zulu
I think this is absolutely beautiful. The children are still children. The welcoming from the students. In america, she would have been on an island alone. Wish my kids had this opportunity when they were younger. School can be brutal in the States.
😂😂😂 never laughed like that, when you said as you were entering the class the kids stood up to greet the teacher and you were like whose this guy, how special is he😂😂😂, but yeah it’s normal that when the teacher enters the class the kids would do that. You just killed me hahaha❤
Zulu/ IsiZulu was a good choice for the girl, would be better for the boy too. Not because I speak IsiZulu but it is the most widely spoken language in South Africa. Most significantly Zulu is an indigenous (South) African language and many other languages are dialect to it. Meaning learning Zulu translate to fluency in Xhosa/ IsiXhosa, Ndebele/ IsiNdebele and Swati SiSwati (ESwatini Kingdom). Much significance!!!
as someone who doesn't speak IsiZulu, I agree. I wish I learned the language as a kid. I only know English and Afrikaans. I tried learning IsiXhosa for a while and it was way easier than Afrikaans so I wish I had the opportunity to learn IsiZulu.
@@SihleToni Xhosa, Swati, Ndebele are dialect to Zulu yet Zulu is the most popular among these. Furthermore IsiZulu is the most widely spoken indigenous language in South Africa. Which of these claims is arguable to you sir..?
@@OurJourney2SouthAfrica back when I used to be super obsessed with the USA I also spoke with an American accent for some time lol I was a mess , that was only because I had no friends so I would make friends online with American people lol only one American friend stuck tho she lives in Philly
I would advise learning both languages if possible as both will be useful when she finds herself in different spaces in the country. South Africa has 12 Official languages. But for academic purposes I would advise her to take isiZulu, the poetry, culture and idioms are unmatched. Welcome home family! ❤❤
I am so happy to see our brothers and sisters move back to the mother land. Y'all are welcome and let us build this beatifull continent together. Africa is the future
I didnt want the video the video to end😊 So cute. I'm glad they felt welcomed on their first day of school. Baby girl didnt want us to miss anything😅 She's adorable
Looks like the kids had a blast at school, be careful they must just say Mommy we going to school on a weekend 😂😅Chase is saying no my goodness, he wants to write a book about his first day in school 😅😮
Welcome to South Africa guys, kindly learn Zulu, by learning it only you gone know Swati, Ndebele and Xhosa these languages are very versatile are like.
I'm a South African living in the UK. I just discovered your channel. I enjoyed this session so much. It's great that your children are experiencing such great support from their peers. I went to a public school and the rules were equally strict. As a family, I'm sure you'll have more wonderful experiences. Welcome home. Sending you love from afar. ❤
I grew up in Africa now live in the UK. I used to hold hands with my friends all the time & it’s just friendship there even linking up hands. Just a show of how close you are with your mates. Glad you moved to Africa hope you & your kids will have amazing experiences.
I love their enthusiasm, may it be beautiful experience for them. Zulu will also make you understand a bit of the other african countries languages, I get to hear most people from Southern Africa and Joburg allows for one to be an individual.
I’s say learn 1 nguni language and 1 sotho language. Preferably, start with Zulu as it is widely spoken/understood. Then pick up sesotho or setswana after learning Zulu. That way you’ll be able to communicate with almost everyone in the country & neighbouring countries.
Isizulu is not that bad,its easy to understand and when she learns and understands it she will be able to understand three other Nguni languages which are Xhosa,Swati and Ndebele, so great decision Price Family ❤
Do not limit your Kids to only ZULU think of SESOTHO/SETSWANA/SEPEDI as it will give them Access to More Places to visit and Communicate within South Africa and 2 More Neighbouring Cousin Countries. Do your Research.
They seem sooo happy!! I LOVE that for them. It genuinely made me tear up how happy they were 🥹 South Africans are one of the most super friendly and welcoming people. You’ll love it here 💕

I've never seen Chelsy smiling like this before, this made me smile too.. I advise both of them to take Zulu Language.
It got me teary😢 when Chase said students were saying “Welcome to South Africa”
If they learn to speak isiZulu they'll also be able to speak 1. IsiNdebele 2. Isixhosa 3. Iswati. It's a great investment. English is also my first language and learning isiZulu changed the game for me.
Well said ❤
Its best she learns zulu it will help her connect with most south Africans
This video touched my heart man. God bless that girl that kept checking up on Chase in every class.
Every parent's prayer for their child starting at a new school is for them to be protected and guided by their guardian angel
This is so true! ☺️
The rules that we have in schools is the reason why kids still look like kids in SA.

Definitely a part 2
Sakaza= scatter

This video made me smile so hard. My son’s name is Jaice and I can’t wait to take my son to SA to see its beauty. ❤🎉
You must bring him 😘

Facts
That's true
Oh our babies 😭❤️ so many beautiful firsts 🌱🌺
So true 😉
I recommend Zulu and Setwana.
Knowing both helps to learn nearly all the languages in South Africa and neighboring countries.
True💯
I also recommend the Sesotho language
They look beautiful in their uniform ❤❤
Thank you ☺️
The boy is such a pleasure to listen too.
The boy loves to talk 😆
Not me thinking it's a girl
'It' is a boy. It must be the hair 😏
@@OurJourney2SouthAfricahe is beautiful ❤
😂My husband also walked in on me watching and was like "is that a boy or a girl?" He's too cute. You have beautiful children ma'am
27:15 yes saphaza it means scatter.
ilanga - is a sun
inyanga - is a moon
You always begin with the vowel ' i ", when you talking about a " thing " just like in English when you use " it " but when you are talking about the person, you begin with " u ".
Miss Popularity! Sounds like she had a fun time on her first day of school. And so did Chase!
I am such a proud South African, my heart is beaming at hearing how well your children are taking to school in SA. Beautiful family
Thank you 😊
This is SA🇿🇦❤ Assembly like a Church! I love it when I heard that, we love Jesus Christ ❤

Thank you ☺️
I'm back again, so this is the first day of school i ever heard that was so positive. But can i just say i looooove to hear Chelsea say, "and Mommy." It warms my heart.
Yes, the first day was a very positive experience! She has a way of using 'Mommmmmy' that makes my heart melt, especially at her age 🫠
@OurJourney2SouthAfrica precisely.
You got some beautiful children inside & out !!!
Thank you so much! ☺️
I am glad kids enjoyed their first day of SA schooling. Within a week they will adapt and they will be looking forward for every mornings.
Ita very nice to listern to ur kids,they are soo cute and beautiful....I will suggest Zulu as the language,because with isiZulu u can go to every corner of SA and even outside of SA neighboring countries, majority of people understands it.
Kids are the best story tellers ❤❤❤❤... I'm so invested....
Thank you for sharing your family's story with us.
They gonna be great here in SA, thank you guys for bringing these kids to the mother land they look like they will love it here. I had both smiles and tears on their impression, I wish most African Americans can come back to Africa for good.
They are making that move slowly 😉
In South Africa, we respect our teachers and elders. Glad you’ll be learning that while you’re here.
😂I'm a teacher in South Africa, but I have not seen this respect you speak about 😢
You are raising some awesome children. Peace and blessings. 😊
Thank you ☺️
By learning Zulu, she will have access to three more other languages. Xhosa, Ndebele, Swati. These are called the Nguni Tribe.
Black Americans are Rock Stars in Africa - especially South Africa. All the best at school. Prefects assist in discipline and running the school. Its a leadership position and training for the older students...
Study Zulu it will make your life way much more easier in terms of building relationships and you can use it in daily life which will assist in learning it quicker
True!
very true
Your first time in Zulu class and you get the words wow Chelsea 😊
This is the happiest I have seen Chelsea. Glad she enjoyed school.
Yes, she is very happy and loves her new school. ☺️
I think she should take Zulu because it’s widely spoken and will bring her closer to the natives
It's an African thing when a teacher walks in we get up and greet. She'll get use to it😊
I think you should have a section where they just talk about their school experience..I would listen to him all day!
They're talking about school throughout their day, and most times it's when I'm not able to record. I try to get snippets to share ☺️
I am glad school went well for you guys. Hope you guys will enjoy it and learn and grow in South african school. There are plenty of teachers with a passion to teach kids.
This video made my day, the cuteness 😻, they couldn't stop talking about their day. This is my favorite video on your channel!
Love this . I hope she ends up taking Zulu . its such a beatiful language and I think being in south Africa its a huge advantage because most people speak and understand Zulu
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the video. ☺️
As a South African my heart is beaming with joy...this is so heart warming 💛. Welcome to Africa 💖
Awwww, thank you 😊
Lol the little man is delightful
The Boy is an amazing soul, he could be the best african American, i love you guys and the good Lord cherish this family
The best African American?
This brought happy tears! Chelci was ready to talk for the next 2hrs!!😅😅 I'm so happy for you two!
I’m in America and I wish I could move and give my kids this experience. I love this!!
Start working towards it. Remember, where there's a will there's a way! The proof of desire is pursuit!
Come through. African American community seems to be growing in Mzansi. Come for a visit first. Check it out, see if it's for u.
Wow she's already learned few Zulu words 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think this is absolutely beautiful. The children are still children. The welcoming from the students. In america, she would have been on an island alone. Wish my kids had this opportunity when they were younger. School can be brutal in the States.

Americans, make sure he participates in all the activities. He will need Two lunches 10am and 2Pm. He will be starving when he gets back home.
I’m so happy you took our advice from the comments about enrolling them to a physical school than online school they definitely going to mark friends
Looks like the kids had a blast at school, be careful they must just say Mommy we going to school on a weekend 😂😅Chase is saying no my goodness, he wants to write a book about his first day in school 😅😮

Whatever she chooses it'll be fine...But I'd say that Zulu in this country is a plus...I'd recommend it
