Hey guys, many thanks for your answers, I'm waiting for a couple books on Xhosa that I bought from kalahari.net
(don't have an economic interest, just indicate in case someone's interested in finding books on Afrikaans and
other Southafrican languages).

In the meantime, I'll try to learn from this youtube and Ladefoged's site.

Happy New Year!

Next year, maybe we can even open a Xhosa thread ;)

Hi!!!

I just watched the KhoeKhoegowab lessons on youtube and I loved those sounds, I can't wait to know more about the language.

To my surprise I could differentiate the 4 click sounds =) ......... yay!!!

Thanks for the thread.

Take care!!!

Ok ..... it's me again, sorry.

I found a little video of Miriam Makeba in youtube, she's speaking in English and Xhosa and also sings this song called "the click song" ..... enjoy!!!!

Sadly, she passed away in November.

Just look for "miriam makeba click song mourn" in youtube.

Take care!!!

Hi!

I was wondering if any of you have used "Clicking with Xhosa", it's a Xhosa phrasebook
