Professional journals and popular media thoroughly show the benefits businessmen and professionals gain when they learn to speak Tswana. Most experts now support that all up-and-coming leaders in business, industry, and any high profession should learn to speak Tswana. This is not only for the sake of advancing their careers, but also to assure the success of South Africa’s bold and ambitious experiment in pluralist democracy.

Even more than shared values and expectations unify society; common language cements the South African cultural diversity. When leaders learn to speak Tswana, they prove their respect for the nation’s disadvantaged workers and citizens. Speaking in a common language, leaders and followers develop a sense of shared activity as they fill their common obligation to a just cause. When professionals of all kinds learn to speak Tswana, they create a bond between themselves and more than four million of their fellow South Africans.

Managers and supervisors quickly learn the difference between a boss and a leader. A boss demands submission to the authority in his title and he issues compliance with his instructions. Employees working for a boss live in almost constant fear of punishment or termination. Leaders, however, inspire employees’ respect, loyalty, and devotion because they help workers feel pride and ownership in their work. The best leaders understand exactly how they serve their followers.

Some of South Africa’s most effective corporate and professional leaders speak Tswana in the workplace because common language promotes a sense of common cause. When leaders take initiative to learn and speak Tswana in the workplace, they prove their respect for and understanding with their employees. In addition, effective leaders very quickly discover that, when they speak Tswana in the workplace, efficiency and productivity increase while accidents and non-attendance decrease.

Dedicated professionals recognize the benefits of continuing education. Advanced classes build their knowledge of strategies, tactics, and innovations giving them competitive advantage over their peers. In addition to professional growth classes, forward thinking business leaders ought to consider enrolling in Tswana classes. One of South Africa’s most prominent languages, and considerably easier to learn than the majority of African languages, Tswana is the everyday language of culture and commerce for more than four million South Africans.

Studies repeatedly have shown that businessmen who communicate with customers and clients in their native languages, command more respect and loyalty than their English only competitors because customers recognize command of their language as a symbol of esteem.

In addition, Tswana classes, specifically designed and developed for busy businessmen, promote rapid acquisition of the language. Using the best instructional methods, Tswana classes focus first and foremost on Tswana for commercial and professional use.

Tswana, one of South Africa’s eleven official languages, is a language written in a Latin alphabet. Native speakers of English find it easier to learn Tswana than other African tongues because they already understand the letters and sounds. “Cognates,” easily recognizable words imported into Tswana from English, French, German, and Dutch, also make it easier for English speakers to learn Tswana. American, European, and local slang quickly become part of Tswana so that as English speakers learn Tswana, they will recognize “sharp” and “cool” while technical terms also become easier to recognize —“computere” means the same with or without the “e.”

Because more than four million South Africans claim Tswana as their primary language, many business people believe it serves their best interest to learn Tswana. Especially as a tool for driving sales, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with customers inspires many English speakers to learn Tswana.
