About ORATO
At Orato Institute, we believe that language is more than a skill—it’s a connection to identity, to culture, and to community. We’re on a mission to bridge language barriers with simple, practical, and affordable courses taught by native speakers who truly understand the people, the context, and the culture behind the words.
What Makes Us Different
Unlike many language platforms that focus on global “mainstream” languages, Orato was built to center African languages and voices. We offer courses in underrepresented African languages as well as a curated selection of European languages like Italian, English, German and French taught by tutors who speak the mother tongue of the learner.
But what really sets us apart is the way we teach. With live tutor-led classes and
peer-to-peer conversation clubs, our learners don’t just memorise—they immerse, engage, and belong. Yes, we provide self-paced options (we know life gets busy!), but we believe in the power of oral tradition, of storytelling, and of real-time exchange. It’s magical, deeply African, and transformative.
