Xhosa was one of my subjects at school, i did it as a
third language. It was very interesting but not as easy as I thought
it would be. The pronunciations of the words were difficult it took
me a while to get used to it.
The fun part was when
we had to speak the language in class, especially when you forget your words or
when you are trying to figure out what your teacher is saying. But somehow I enjoyed the oral very much.
Today I can speak the
basics, never took my teacher seriously when she said it’s so easy to forget
the language. Now I realise that I do understand more than I can actually speak,
and I have the ability to read the language very well.
I would recommend
learning an African language anyday.
