If you’re willing to get some books or audio support, here what you can get. Since DRCongo is a french speaking country, a lot of documents are in French but you can find some in English as well…
FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Albert Nyembwe has produced one of the rare audio lesson volume available outside of Congo. Knowing that Ciluba is a tone language, this is priceless!!! It consists of a 24 page booklet with a double CD. There are 25 lessons including vocabulary and sample sentences. There are the Français-Ciluba and English-Ciluba versions. I got it in 2010 for 25$ and it’s nicely done, actually.
To get your hands on it, contact Albert Nyembwe at sifumungu@msn.com
Also you have online content such as ERIC’s Livre du formateur, L’Esprit du Ciluba by Mukendi Kalala

J’ai un projet. Je suis traducteur et desire travailler avec un linguiste qui a pu travailler sur le thiluba. Je veux qu’une equipe de ressortisants kasaiens se joignent a moi pour ce projet: linguistes, traducteurs, enseignants, auteurs…..J’habite les USA. Je m’etendrai davantage prochainement sur mon projet. Merci.
