More Zulu Android Apps than you can Handle!

Anyone with an Android gadget most likely knows about Google Play, as it's become the go-to source for Android apps. That said, I wanted to point out a pre-defined search on the Google Play website that allows users to view available apps for learning Zulu.

Zulu is one language for which there is no shortage of apps to discover, test and use. This is a good thing, but it can also be daunting. Apps with good reviews (and lots of them) are generally a good place to start.
