Repeat after me: Aaah, Bi, Chi, Dee, F,Ge, Gbe...yes you are saying the Igbo Alphabet. Its ok if you cant say it all either can I. I know its sad but its true, in fact there are tons of words that have to be said in English cause our langaue is so ancient. So a typical sentence may be like this:
Yem Sprite, biko.
Sort of like that. I dont know everything in Igbo but IF I do have kids I would want to teach them so I guess I will have to start to refresh myself again since I am so used to spaking english. My oyinbo boyfriend jokes with me alot but he is staring to slowly understand some of the words I use. (I can't call him a stupid foreigner any more behind his back...lol) Its cute to actually see him repond to simple things like water. Its exciting to slowly integrate him into Igbo customs.
