However, because of everything that I have experienced, I really hope when the opinions stack on that individuals continue to be on point and in no way get started on a soap box involving some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional point and although I can not necessarily concur with the idea in totality, I regard the perspective.

As an experienced language teacher, here is my advice: if you really want to learn the language, I urge you to find a Zulu language teacher that uses TPRS (a comprehensible input method).

Otherwise you will be utterly disappointed with the results, thinking it is a difficult language to learn.

Our brains are designed to learn about six different languages simultaneously, and it is a natural process that is practically effortless if you know what you are doing! Comprehensible input is the key!

Just thought you need to know :)

I grew up listening to Miriam Makeba singing and was determined to learn to sing at least part of the song, the one with the Zulu sounds (I think it’s the horse click one). I had never heard the full spectrum of clicks until I saw The Lion King. Now I’m jealous of you. I want to hang out with you and play with the sounds together! Look forward to hearing more of your tongue-knitting adventures.

Martha, you always make me smile and laugh and enjoy. I can’t wait for your next email to the tribe!

Language is the thing that makes us truely human. I find learning languages tough although I speak 4 fluently and understand several more. Yes – I am South African and yes I also speak Zulu. Martha I think the amount of fun you are having is evident, but I also sense a new tool coming on. Learning those clicks is probably a awesome way to become present as you consentrate and get your mouth to do new twists and turns. By the way Zulu is also a window to a truely spiritual culture. For instance did you know that the greeting “sawubona” means “I see you” very much like saying “namaste”. Enjoy, can’t wait to welcome you again to sunny SA.

I’m just preparing to teach a pronunciation class and the “teaching a chicken to knit” gave me agonies of doubt about my ability to pull it off. Wish me luck.
