PS: You could also use something like ManyVerse:
It works well, but be warned: it potentially uses a lot of storage and a lot of CPU/battery. And if you use it while your phone has internet, it could potentially eat all of your data plan in no time.

I don’t know if any free classes or WhatsApp groups. However, I have been learning with this book (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1326253816?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and a tutor based in Zambia whom I speak to over WhatsApp.
To respect their privacy, I won’t post their contact details here but can share in a DM.
People of Lusaka today don't speak traditional Nyanja: the language has evolved. It isn't 'pure' or standardised, and it's only just beginning to be written down.
Using course content produced by the co-authors of Town Nyanja, the first book on the language, we offer the only group learning package teaching the lingua franca of Lusaka's 1.7 million residents.
Although it may to too late to help out here, if anyone is reading and interested in learning more about our group learning package please go to:

Do you know how far you are from the nearest tower? If its over 5km I would suggest working on ensuring the signal is strengthened. You can do this by installing external antennae on the routers. Something like this will work: https://www.amazon.com/Tupavco-TP514-Directional-800MHz-960MHz-1-7-2-5GHz/dp/B008Z5QB96 Feel free to direct message me if you need more info on how to do the setup. I did it and am connecting 13km to the nearest tower in Chongwe area.
Recharging the bundles on the SIM cards is easy if you download the respective Apps for Airtel and MTN and connect the SIM for your mobile to the App. Any of the retail stores should be able to help you do that.
Not Zambian, but Five Fingers for Marseilles is awesome.
There is a Bemba/English dictionary that I found useful for my first trip back to visit family there.
I see they have it on UK Amazon.
