NativeWords

Hear African languages the way they're really spoken.

NativeWords is a free dictionary of African languages, with words recorded by native speakers. Each day we post a short Word of the Day video: the word, its meaning, the word said twice in a native speaker's voice, and an example sentence when we have one.

Learn a new word in Twi, Ga, Hausa and more, one day at a time. It's ideal for learners, for families keeping a language alive at home, and for anyone curious about the languages of Africa.

Look up words, hear how they're said, and practise with free games and daily lessons at nativewords.com.

Speak one of these languages? Help others hear it. Record words and example sentences at nativewords.com, and get credit by name if you like.

Subscribe, and learn a new word every day.
