What the Kinyarwanda course teaches
The Kinyarwanda course follows a structured progression from greetings and everyday vocabulary into sentence patterns, noun classes, verb forms, travel, social language and independent practice. Progress is stored separately from Kirundi so switching courses never marks lessons complete in the other language.
Begin with practical Kinyarwanda
The examples below come from the live Kinyarwanda course. Where Kinyarwanda differs from Kirundi, RundiRwanda uses language-specific forms rather than treating the two languages as interchangeable.
| Kinyarwanda | English meaning |
|---|---|
| Muraho | Hello / peace |
| Mwaramutse | Good morning |
| Mwiriwe | Good afternoon / evening |
| Urakoze | Thank you |
| Amakuru? | How are you? |
| Ni meza | I am fine / the news is good |
| Nyamuneka | Please |
| Tuzabonana | See you |
Switch between Kirundi and Kinyarwanda
A RundiRwanda account can study both languages. Lesson stars, Wordbook mastery and review state stay separate per course, while account XP and streaks remain shared.
Learning support languages
The RundiRwanda interface can currently be used in English, French, Kiswahili, Dutch, German, Portuguese and Swedish. These are interface languages; the language you choose to study is selected separately.
