Hello there, good day.
How important is your native language to you? Do you speak it? or do you not know how to? There is no right or wrong answer.
As for me, I learned my mother tongue from as early as I can remember.
Guess what she speaks!
Your guess is as good as mine judging from the picture above.
My mum speaks Igala. It is said to be a yorubNoid language. In my opinion, it is very easy to learn. There are some similar words in Igala and Yoruba languages. For instance, 'Omi' means 'water' in both Yoruba and Igala languages. Both languages have similar tonation and phonetics.
Would you like to learn how to speak the Igala language online? Or would you like your better half to learn how to speak the Igala language? Do you want to learn for the love of it or do you have kids who do not have the opportunity of growing up in an environment where the language is spoken often? Kindly visit our website for more information.
Our classes are suitable for beginners, from ages 6, and all genders are welcome.
Our program is a blend of online learning and personal learning with our PDF format Igala Language Beginners Workbook.
