Vambo Academy Guidelines
Culture of Respect
Languages are unique and those that choose to learn them possess the same qualities. Some of these may be different from those that are familiar to others. Vambo Academy commits to preserving a culture of respect for the content representative of the African continent and all who embark on the journey of learning the languages offered on the platform.
Culture of Support
Culture of Sharing
The impact of globalisation has influenced the essence of African cultures and languages. The fact that different Africans are resident all over the world has also increased the number of dialects and types of pronunciations for certain phrases. Vambo Academy commits to instil a culture of sharing where new knowledge is readily provided and accepted to contribute to the art of learning.
