Madonna and Guy Ritchie are reportedly learning Chichewa, one of the national languages of Malawi, so that they can teach it to their adopted son, David.

The couple are reportedly keen to teach David about the country of his birth and want him to get to know the language and the culture as he grows up.

A source close to the family revealed recently: “Madonna and Guy use the few words they’ve learned - mummy, daddy, hello, my love and some others - every day.”

“Madonna knows a Chichewa lullaby called ‘Gona Mana’ and has been working on a guitar piece to go along with it.”

The source added that David loves his new family: “David’s a very smart little chap who idolises his brother Rocco.”
