I like the Naija accent.😁
Well done with your Setswana 101,you will enjoy your stay in Botswana.
Yes 🙌💃😀 thank you so much Revonia ❤️🙏
In Botswana culturally you can’t give someone with your left hand and if you are given something you should receive it with both hands and bowing down 🎉🎉🎉
I’m a Motswana and was taught to give an elder with both hands and bend knees
Just found this channel and I've been binging your videos laughing so hard
You are so funny😂😂
😀😀😀 good to have you here Abbie thank you so much 😍😍😍
Churches should have uniforms so that it doesn't turn into a fashion parade and maybe Batswana understand the difference between going to a church and a party .The bottom line is there are clothes for every occasion❤
"Hey wareng"
"Akere sepe"
"O teng"
"Ke teng"
You killed meeeee😭😭🤣🔥
Botwana is turning out to be a very cool nation to reside at.
Thanks for sharing with us
Yes oo it is thanks for watching sis ❤️
We should always dress moddstly when going to church. No sleevless or very tight dresses. Modesty and reverence are key.
Corrections.. If you accept so thing or give something with one hand you are being casual. The right way is to use both hands as respect..like you hold the hand giving or taking with another hand underneath.
Okay Lorato now i know better 🥰
I like this woman yooh🤨🥰😍😍😍n um always laughing 😂
I thank you, Ms Nigeria 🇳🇬 for your beautiful videos fill with energy, fun, and laughter… I am from Sierra Leone in the US and hope to be in Namibia and Botswana this Christmas… Partly because of your videos I want to come see beautiful Botswana for myself and maybe even move there… Thank you oh, mi sista and God bless 🙏🔥🙏
We use either hand. However its more polite to give with both hands especially to elders
Yessss! I notice my kids use both hands wow! I’m sure they learnt that at school it makes me happy practicing a total different culture plus ours. Interesting 💃😀
WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AT UNIVERSITY OF BOTSWANA LAST WEEK..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

😆😆 thank you Bright thank you for always watching 🙏❤️
@@helengeorgeslifestyle you are always welcome
If you really practice you can speak in no time. Many people visit other countries and spend years and remain foreigners. Immerse yourself in the culture.
Culturally we in Botswana use two hands to give or give things. The left hand is frowned upon. It’s just that in towns people are more casual.
I just joined your subscription today. Thank you for your enlightening videos
Akere(right)!
Ee, akere( yes, right)!

Okay my sister 🥰🥰💕
Kea go rata autlwa(I like you Helen),its because of your complexion that's why they confuse you to be a Motswana...Southern part of Botswana.We receive things with both hands, but give with right hand but sort of bowing just a little bit especially to elders.....it also depend cause some people are left handed.
Okay thanks for telling us, i love you too 💕💕
Dumelang! O teng? 😂😂😂

It's BOGOBE
@@brightsize9256 😆😆 ok 👍“Bogobe” thank you so much 😊
Using left hand is common amongst age mates and children but when you are with elders you use your right hand.
Wow okay 👌 that is good in my country we use only right hand .
yes, left is rude.
If living in foreigner land your life will be much easier, if you understand the culture norms and value.
Yes 🙌
Well here in Botswana we use our hands equally. There is no problem with using the left hand. But i do understand ur side of culture,the Ghanians are also particular about which hands they use.
Yes you are right Ghanaians are like that too they don’t use left
Nnya Puso, ka lebogo la molema. We dont use left hand its considered rude.
2 years she'll be fluent
Yes ooo 😂 thank you bro 😎
"Wa reng" it's like saying what's up? How are things? What are you up to?
And the response will be like "ga ke re sepe" , meaning "nothing much" or "just fine".
But in very literal sense, the word "wa reng" means "what are you saying?" And the response "ga ke re sepe" means "I'm not saying anything " 🤣😂😅🤣 sounds funny, right?
😁😁😁 oh so its " ga ke re sepe" thought its Agirisipe 🤦♀️🤣
@@helengeorgeslifestyle yeah... just that when we say it fast it sounds like "akeresepe"
Actually the Botswana doesn't entertain receiving something from an elderly with one hand. That's being rude. We use 2 hands to give and receive from elders. We also bend knees as a sign of respect. It's just that in the city most young people have lost it.
Yes I noticed even my kids receive things with 2 hands im sure they learnt that at school
Stop coming for young people in the city.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Blessed subtitules HAHAHAHA. Whitout them i would not understand nothing HAHAHAHAHA

Nice video, thanks for putting out videos about Botswana. I was in Botswana for 3 days in March 2023, I came in as a British citizen not needing a visa for 3months. How can I get a permit to stay in Botswana permanently? I plan to buy a house and start a business. Many thanks in anticipation

I’m telling you 🤣🤣🤣
You also sound like them
You beat me to it... come whatapp🥰
Right away 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Helen, you look like those Botsawanian women o...
Serious😂
Over dressing is considered old fashioned. You tend to be taken as a fool when you are over dressed. Formal clothes is only for work or some churches. outside work or church stick to informal
Exactly 👌👌❤️
Depends on what circles one moves in I would have thought. Not meaning to boast or anything and I know that Batswana do not have the aristocracy anymore but...I was raised to believe that as an aristocrat from the more ancient village of King Kgama, I should be mindful of this and conduct myself accordingly and that includes my apparel/dress sense.
In my Country Ghana if you wear the same Cloth every Sunday to church, people will be gossiping about you ,nice simple life people
Batswana are not as simple as Helen says. Yes we have failed to glamorize our own national attire unlike Nigerian queens but this means that we have adopted the dress sense of the West and trust me, Batswana were buying designer clothes from Italian fashion houses in the 80s when no fashion house would dream of setting up shop in poor Botswana. I remember a neighbour inviting me to her house to come and look at and try a killer suit by an Italian designer. I don't know how she got them from the fashion houses but she was selling them and Batswana were buying them. I suppose it depends on who you meet and it maybe that majority of Batswana who have never traveled dress simply but the well traveled ones, oh my.......
@@the8thchurch461 granted you are right but for the most part Batswana are simple at heart you wouldn't know someone's rich unless you are told. I mean you can even find a ministers child in a government school. By the way it's a compliment.
@@Pk-lx4gh That is not at all true I am afraid. A minister's child at a government school? I doubt very much. My sister's only child, her son, went to the best private kindergarten up to age 6 and this was in the early 80s. That was followed by the top private primary school of the time. When he got to secondary school age, my sister decided that Botswana was not good enough for her son and sent him to a previously white only secondary school in South Africa. When it was time for university education, well, Africa was not good enough for her son and she sent him to England. She herself had been to England to study so thought highly of English education. Yes, we come from the ancient tribe of Bamangwato in Serowe which takes pride in our King being the first president of the country but my sister was not a minister so I highly doubt your claims that a minister's child attends a government school. Infact its very common for government ministers to send their children to private schools followed by Western (U.S.A/U.K) university education. Sorry but your claims are not at all true. Batswana are very ambitious. Not at all simple I am afraid. A friend of mine was sent to an American university by her parents way way way back in the late 80s so, I am sorry but what you are saying is wishful thinking. Maybe its a case of moving in different circles. As for my sister's dress sense, I am still trying to reach her glamour level. She wore suits costing 900 pula and that was way back in the 80s and 90s. She also wore lace e.t.c. The people at her office likened her glamour to that of one of the women in DYNASTY tv series (u.s.a) and that was in the late 80s. I don't know which Batswana you guys meet.
@@the8thchurch461 I'm not saying they're are no elites in Botswana but for the most part Batswana arr simple? We are talking comparatively here. I don't want to name names but so quiet a lot of ministers kids studied locally. In Botswana your next door neighbor with a hilux could be a multimillionaire. May be things are changing now due to materialism but Batswana are not flashy. Ask yourself how many porsches or ferraris do you see on the roads? Is it because people can't afford them or is it that Botswana does not allow for one to be overly extravagant? Go to other countries and see inequality is.
@@Pk-lx4gh Again I simply do not believe you that a multimillionaire could drive a hilux. Please. Again, my sister a British university graduate with 2 degrees, was a mere office worker. Basically not a millionaire BUT drive a hilux? You've got to be joking. She was driving a BMW and later on a Mercedes Benz. Look, I don't know about multimillionaires. I don't even know how many Batswana are infact multimillionaires. MAYBE NONE! I don't know. Possibly the reason there are no porsches and ferraris on the roads! That may well explain that. Batswana may well not have reached that level of wealth but I can tell you this. If they were that level of rich, you would have been seeing posches and ferraris on the roads. Batswana's favourite cars that reflected their wealth as early as late 80s and thereafter, were always MERCEDES BENZ and BMW. No ferraris/porches. I doubt there is a single Motswana rich enough to own a helicopter even today because the level of wealth is not at that stage yet. Mercedes benz was the only car that commanded respect. My sister's one was not brand new though. Again, check your facts right. If you are talking about Nigerian or South African type of wealth of Ferraris and porsches, then that is not where Batswana are. Simplicity, no. Batswana love wealth just as much as the next nation. If and when they reach a point where they can afford ferraris and porches, trust me, you won't be able to count them on the road. To be honest, Botswana is not sophisticated enough for porsches and ferraris. Its still very much a developing country. It would be disturbing to see a Motswana driving that type of car. It would look out of place. South Africa or Nigeria? Yes. One step at a time.
😅Form your accent, I'm assuming you're Nigerian. Let me know if I'm wrong.
😆😆 you are right ✅
Bogobe not mogote 😂😂😂😂😂
wena you are lying, o motswana.hahaha
Bogobe its B not m
Bogobe... Not bohobe🙈
Okay im learning thank for correcting me 💕
Please don't learn the habit of exchanging things with your left hand, it's not good, don't forget where you are coming from
Ok ma but I don’t use left at my husband or my fellow Nigerians I only use that for my Botswana people because I think they don’t mind .
Not an issue this side but use both hands when dealing with elders
@@ogone1465 wow okay now we know
using left hand to accept things is not allowed. May be kids of today raised in cities do that
Oh okay I didn’t spot that so I think it’s normal to use left hand now I know it’s not allowed thank you Co 🙏❤️
Akere not agiri
Ok Akere ✌
I don turn to Botswanan through your videos
😆😆😆 thanks for always watching your support is amazing ❤️💕
Yes you do give an elder using a left hand in BOTSWANA. even greeting you use the right hand..it's against setswana culture to do that..but now due to western influences in places like GBE and F/TOWN ppl are doing it..
I meant to say you do not..
Okay I have never noticed that now you guys have let me know thank you Bright 😊
Batswana simplicity is not something to copy. Just "over dress" and educate them about what it means to go to the palace (church) to meet the King. Under dressing is one thing I never liked about our people. It shows disrespect for the House of God and His people. It's interesting how here in England, the royals going to Church equals a fashion show. Batswana need to up their game. Clothes maketh a woman. It's not vanity, it shows self respect and respect for those you are meeting. Please do not copy Batswana and abandon the Nigerian love for queenly attire.
Hayibo
RELAX RELAX PLEASE,,,BOTSWANA IS NOT ENGLAND OK,CAN YOU JUST TELL THE ENGLISH TO COPY OUR DRESS CODE TOO AND STOP THAT COLONIAL MENTALITY OF YOURS.
Hahaha the 8th ooo 🤣 okay I understand where you are coming from but I will still politely disagree with you 🤣😀I would have agreed if we are talking about decency here but NO we are talking about SIMPLICITY which I would love Nigerians to emulate , I know some Nigerians who stopped going to church because they couldn’t meet up with the Nigerian mentality of overdressing before you can fit in, I don’t like that please we should learn to go to church just the way we are and not to compete with who dresses better than others , at the end of the day what God sees is our heart and not our dressing last time I checked nobody will enter heaven because of how they dress but how pure the heart is😆
@@tumelogaobotlhoko1119 I think it’s normal to wish to change some attributes of our country it’s totally normal now look at me not liking Nigerian over dressing to church but you people love it you see 🤷♀️yesterday I was at the Hospital and one white woman was admiring a local African attire but We Africans don’t value that so it’s totally normal to wish to change some stuffs about our Country especially when we travel out and see how different we do things it’s normal okay calm down my friend 😀❤️🙏
@@helengeorgeslifestyle I respectfully disagree Helen! I would be exactly like those Nigerians who stopped going to Church because they rejected simplicity! Good on them. Its called RETAIL THERAPY. Clothes are really therapeutic. They can change your mood and make you feel better. Its not about competition Helen. Its about respecting oneself and those you are going to meet. I can't tell you how people used to appreciate me for "over dressing" when I went to church. It literally made their day and I believe it also inspired them to do better. I could NEVER dress simply anyway. And as I say, if you were going to meet someone important such as the King/Queen, you would make an effort to appear serious and respectful. Clothes reveal the kind of person you are and what you think of others. It shows what is inside your mind. Respect for oneself in how one looks (dresses) translates into how they treat others. I am sorry but dress is connected to behaviour. Anyway, each to their own but simplicity in dress is simply a no no for me.
