About Language Center of Congo

It starts with
Who We Are.

We teach languages spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in the diaspora, through live video classes.

The Language Center of Congo was born out of necessity. Its founders, the Nguzas, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, were born and raised in Europe and the United States. Although fluent in their languages of adoption -French, English, Spanish and Portuguese- the siblings realized they could not state the same about their communication skills in Lingala, Kikongo, Swahili or Tshiluba -i.e., the national languages of their country of origin. This is, unfortunately, the case for thousands of children of Congolese immigrants -now adults- who are members of the African diaspora in the Americas and Europe. A limited or inexistent knowledge of these languages translate in a limited experience when visiting the country of our forefathers, learning about the rich culture of Congo, or just participating in community events. 

This yearning to connect with our roots, led to the birth of the Language Center of Congo: a place where any person wishing to learn any of the languages spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, can do so without any judgment, and at their leisure. Being an online school allows us to offer live remote lessons from anywhere in the world. 


Whether you are a businessperson looking to find opportunities in Central Africa or a person of faith preparing for a mission's trip, a history buff or a lover of languages, the Language Center of Congo holds your needs dear: we are dedicated to equipping you with all the language tools you will need.

Knowledgeable, passionate, great methodology

Maxime is a fantastic professor in addition to a great linguist. He is passionate about teaching and transferring knowledge. As a polyglot now learning Lingala, I highly recommend him.

Stunning Portuguese teacher

Since I am a language teacher myself, I am participating in Flavio's lessons as a student while thinking about my own teaching style and identifying with my students. I see that Flavio has amazing skills and is probably far more nurturing and motivating as a teacher than I am. So I am learning new vocab and grammar and some teaching techniques. I am loving it!
