At Poch Africa, we believe that language is more than just communication it’s identity, heritage, and a gateway to culture. Our Language Academy is dedicated to helping members of the African diaspora in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area and beyond rediscover and reconnect with their roots by learning the rich and diverse languages of Africa.
For many in the diaspora, reclaiming African identity starts with understanding the languages of our ancestors. Whether you’re exploring your heritage, planning a visit to the continent, or simply passionate about African culture, learning an African language opens the door to deeper connection, community, and cultural pride.
Our Academy provides beginner to advanced language instruction in major African languages, including
Yoruba (Nigeria)
Igbo (Nigeria)
Hausa (West Africa)
Twi (Ghana)
Swahili (East Africa)
Xhosa (South Africa)
