About the Igbo Language..

Did you know that Igbo Language the native language spoken by the South-Eastern Natives of Nigeria is also recognised as a minority language in Equatorial Guinea?

Given the highly migrant characteristics of Ndi-Igbo (Igbo people), Igbo Language is well travelled and can be heard spoken across various countries in the world.

Igbo language is fun and flirty and occasionally garnished with proverbs (the oil with which words are eaten) which I absolutely adore.

Join me on this ride to propagate a language I love so much so that I'm willing to do something I have never done before, teach to ensure that as many people as possible learn this language

For this to be a success, I will love for each session to be as interactive as ever with videos etc. also, questions and corrections are very welcome via the comment section as I lay no claim to being an authority on spoken/written Igbo.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me and I bet you, we will have lots of fun.

      haha! Nice one. For those in need of interpretation, it simply means that you do not tell a deaf person when a war breaks out. i.e, tehy get to see it for themselves.

Letters of the Alphabet in Igbo (Abiidii Igbo)

Image
Before one is able to learn a new language, two things must be learnt first and they are numbers (how to count) and letters of the alphabet without which no headway can be made into learning whatever language that is. That being said, we will be looking to learn the letters of the alphabet in Igbo for today's mainstream lesson.  Amazingly, there are no letters Q and X in the Igbo alphabets but some other letters appear instead. Here we go... Image culled from  http://www.languagesgulper.com/eng/Igbo.html These are the 36 letters of the Igbo alphabet with their attendant phonic sounds. Attached here also, is a video to help you process the sounds better. PS: Really sorry this post took a while. I hope to do better next time. In the meanwhile, sit back and enjoy Lessson 1 and don't forget to use the comment section for any questions or further clarifications :) Ka o di E..
