To be honest lingala is the most perfect vernacular language in the world, the way it sounds is admirable!, congratulations to the Congolese to have that lucky from God!.
I agrée i’m ivorian/malian/ senegalese And burkinabé but I love lingala And how it sounds much more than bambara/dioula or pular And wolof it is so poetic And soft 😍
Well, it sounds pretty much like most other Bantu languages. I used my Kenyan mother tongue and Swahili to help me learn Lingala. Nasepeli mingi koyeba monoko ya Lingala! Next up IsiZulu! Big up Afrika.
My native language is Kiswahili (TZ) but I've always felt that the most beautiful language in Africa is Lingala. It is so melodic that it's almost hypnotic. Best Language Ever!
Czar JuliusIII, I plan on learning beautiful Tanzanian Kiswahili. However, Lingala is the other African Language I feel compelled to learn. (I'm from Ghana and speak Hausa and Fante.)
Good job! However, Lingala has a weakness: The excessive use of french words. Over 50% of modern Lingala conversation content is french. Example: "I don't understand". The right translation is "Nayoki te" , but please ask 100 congolese persons to translate that in Lingala. More than 50% would say "Na COMPRENDRE te". This is killing our beatyful language.
Lingala is a lingua franca just developed at the end of 19th century by the gathering of swahili, kikongo, french, english and spanish people to serve colonial gouvernment of both Congo. As french is becoming more and more mandatory in administration, you see less and less native bantu words in lingala. But comparing DRC and Rep. of Congo you can always see the difference ans Kinshasa people were for a long time obliged to speak and learn Lingala at school. Thanks to music this language is eared all over the world.
That's called Frangala ie lingala with several french words often used in Kinshasa or elsewhere in DRC. Personaly I used to watch videos of a congolese deputy, Mike Mukebayi, for one reason: He never speaks Frangala but real Équateur Lingala.
I'm congolese and I did my best to learn English and speak it correctely and accurately but I'm more happy to see you teaching the world how to speak this beautiful language called LINGALA, I appreciate it
I would love to learn lingala from u I have a coworker that had challenged me after cooking me pondu fufu and stewed goat she said if I want to eat Congolese food I have to speak the language lol so I want to learn I thought at first she prefers French but she said lingala is her native tongue so I would love to learn so we can talk fluently together
I just found out that my ancestors were congolese and angolan. I was very confused at first to learn of this fact but I am so proud of that little percertage of ancestry and I want to learn all I can about it. I always knew I was different and now when I look through pictures of what my people look like there on the other side of the world I know where my muscle composition came from and my perfectly white straight teeth and the my curves. Thank you.
You did an excellent job teaching Lingala. I am African American in Florida. Lingala feels easy and natural for me. This is the first bantu language that resonates with me like this. So far I have studied Xhosa, Swahili, Zulu, Sotho, and Cheluba. Looking forward to studying more Lingala.
@@jeswazwadi7049 I found a TH-cam channel called Jonathan Tshilombo. Jonathan has videos on many Bantu languages. His mother tongue is Cheluba. He is also a very good teacher.
This is literally the best thing ever! 😂 when you can understand everything around you but you can't speak a word back, it's definetly a struggle. So thanks for being my start to speaking Lingala. Nzambe azo mona yo 😉
I like lingala , am from Angola, I don't speak lingala, but some music are cool. unfortunately we are no more a kingdom but we still have the same history.( Angola , RDC, RC, Gabon).
I speak lingala but I think this is the first time i learn how to say good night my parents used to say tango ekoki kendo ko lala. Can you count to 10 in lingala after 4 I get tired.
Thanks for this lesson...am from Cameroon but I love lingala and my favourite artist is Fally ipupa...I have to learn lingala just because I want to understand everything he sings.
So I'm Fijian (Pacific Islander) but I find the Lingala language very interesting and pleasing to the ear 👌 I also admire the Congolese culture a lot 💙 great video! 😇
I am American but trying to learn Lingala to talk to my customers better (I am a state worker) and maybe someday visit Kinshasa. It is really hard to find good learning materials for this language so thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to make a whole video to share your knowledge with us ❤❤❤
I am a great Kenyan fan of Lingala music. Lately I have been keen to get English translation of some songs like Chandra, Ya Jean, Mamou etc from TH-cam. This has in turn developed an interest in learning the language. This is the first video I have viewed in an effort to learn the language and I must say it's worth it. Am learning even more. Thank you. Teacher is also strikingly beautiful 👌
I am Zimbabwean and have been a Congolese music fan since early 90's and this lesson will give me more input in understanding the lyrics behind the beautifully arranged guitar works

Wow! I love listening to people speak this language! I usually ask some of my congolese friends questions as to what some lingala songs mean! Especially zaiko langa langa songs.
Waow such a great idea to promote our language my dear. But u got a strong accent urself and I think it is just too cute. You seriously made my evening. We need more pple like u dear keep it up
I love your videos. They are helping me learn one of the most common languages used by my coworkers. They were so excited and surprised when I came in one day and said "Mbote, sango nini?"
Lingala is my mother tongue. Lingala words change meanings according to how you stress a syllable. For example the word MOTO can mean fire,head or a person according to which syllable you put the stress on. Fire:stress on first syllable Head:stress on second syllable Person:no stress on both syllables.
How i love lingala and this is helpful to me. My blood get along well drc people and we have a lot in zambia coz we are one but most speak swahili and tetela, luba. Thank you mama. Na lingi yo
Umesema kweli lingala ya sasa imeathiriwa na lugha ya kifaransa, lakini nadhani si lugha ya lingala pekee lugha nyingi zime athiriwa na lugha nyingine hata KISWAHILI. Lakini zipo sababu lukuki zinazo pelekea hali hiyo kutokea, ahsante sana ndugu.
It is not modern lingala it is not exacly like that. It is juste most of the time when we have news from Kongo it is more about what is going on at Kinshasa. Kongo is more or less from spain until belgium. Try to imagine the erea where poeple speak and study lingala is in spain but the capital is in brussels 😅 it is already two countrys diffrent. The fact that Lingala is not at school at the capital it is the first reason why mostly Kinshasa dont speak a good lingala they just try and they put some french word when they dont know what to say. We called that (lofuezi) such of street lingala But I can sur you lingala still a rich language who is spoken in Équateur. I work with some school lingala. (Sorry my inglish is not that good I am from Belgium) Lingala ezali monuko ya mobala te. Bana Kongo bo luka koyekola munoko nabino. Koloba ba minoko yaba mindele ezali mabe te kasi bobosana te koyekola minoko nabino. Batu nioso na mukili bayebi monoko na bango. Ezalaki kaka biso awa na poto to yebi te. Tobandi kutu ko loba ba minoko ya bapaya na ndaku !!!! Ezali soni pona bakoko nabiso. Ba kufi mpo tozala na BONSOMI. Bo kanisa libula ya bana nabino. Oleka Lundula
I am from Angola, that’s how i learned all the lingala i know… Because of the Border There’s many congolese people in Angola and many angolose in Congo! Therefore we grow up around each other and one end up learning the other one language!
@ Danny mastar : You must be # DUMB ! Because people who are born with a disability of not being able to hear and or speak are normally called ; Deaf and Dumb. In your case you can hear but cannot speak which technically makes you a # DUMB individual. Any objection or opinion ?? 👍😉👌
@@trillfaldon9983 @Trill Faldon: there's a big difference between "hear", "understand" and "speak" in the English Language. In learning any language the normal process is hear understand and speak. You needed not insult anybody for expressing their experience. He listened and understood but can't speak. How does that make him "dumb" or whatever.
@@vitust407 You are still # DUMB if someone speaks to you in a language that you say you understand but you can't answer back that technically makes you # DUMB, end of story. Otherwise better just say you don't know or understand. Because there is a fundamental difference between perception based "thinking" and knowledge based "understanding." Someone who says " I think I know" is still in a state of doubt, confusion and still figuring out the correct answer and his final response most probably would be perception based. Hence not correct answer. But someone who says " I know that subject. I understand it very well and can explain it fully and categorically". Then the second person statements of conviction displays knowledge based practical experience. Conclusion ; perceptual thinking is devoid of practicle knowledge. "Thinking is not knowing !" While the technical understanding of subjects in this case a Bantu language means one is equipped with practical know-how and application of proven linguistic prowess and grammatical knowledge expression expertise.
Crazy thing is close to 40% of what she covered is almost identical word for word with Luhya (in Kenya). I guess being Bantus mean we share a ton of words and phrases.

Surprising my dad with being able to speak to him in his native language! Thank you it is really helpfull!
This is my chance to learn the beautiful language I have always craved.
I love your videos. They are helping me learn one of the most common languages used by my coworkers. They were so excited and surprised when I came in one day and said "Mbote, sango nini?"
Lingala is my mother tongue. Lingala words change meanings according to how you stress a syllable. For example the word MOTO can mean fire,head or a person according to which syllable you put the stress on.
Fire:stress on first syllable
Head:stress on second syllable
Person:no stress on both syllables.
Person and head is Mutu not moto
The good one is moto
How i love lingala and this is helpful to me. My blood get along well drc people and we have a lot in zambia coz we are one but most speak swahili and tetela, luba. Thank you mama. Na lingi yo
Raaaa!! A beautiful language Lingala is from a Luo in +254.
It's my best language in Africa love it so much...wish I can speak it.
Classic Lingala is okay, but modern Lingala is sick of french words.
Exactly the same thing with any other language. Modern is killing classic :)
Umesema kweli lingala ya sasa imeathiriwa na lugha ya kifaransa, lakini nadhani si lugha ya lingala pekee lugha nyingi zime athiriwa na lugha nyingine hata KISWAHILI. Lakini zipo sababu lukuki zinazo pelekea hali hiyo kutokea, ahsante sana ndugu.
True we don’t speak Lingala we speak franlingala
It is not modern lingala it is not exacly like that. It is juste most of the time when we have news from Kongo it is more about what is going on at Kinshasa. Kongo is more or less from spain until belgium. Try to imagine the erea where poeple speak and study lingala is in spain but the capital is in brussels 😅 it is already two countrys diffrent.
The fact that Lingala is not at school at the capital it is the first reason why mostly Kinshasa dont speak a good lingala they just try and they put some french word when they dont know what to say. We called that (lofuezi) such of street lingala
But I can sur you lingala still a rich language who is spoken in Équateur. I work with some school lingala. (Sorry my inglish is not that good I am from Belgium)
Lingala ezali monuko ya mobala te. Bana Kongo bo luka koyekola munoko nabino. Koloba ba minoko yaba mindele ezali mabe te kasi bobosana te koyekola minoko nabino. Batu nioso na mukili bayebi monoko na bango.
Ezalaki kaka biso awa na poto to yebi te. Tobandi kutu ko loba ba minoko ya bapaya na ndaku !!!! Ezali soni pona bakoko nabiso. Ba kufi mpo tozala na BONSOMI. Bo kanisa libula ya bana nabino.

@Malik Sturm Knowing what they did and are doing to Kongo you would too.
I'm from Congo Kinshasa and i love that i am Congolese girl❤❤🥰🥰
Ayye I'm Congolese and my parents speak lingala French and English. I understand lingala but I speak French English and Spanish
I am from Angola, that’s how i learned all the lingala i know… Because of the Border There’s many congolese people in Angola and many angolose in Congo! Therefore we grow up around each other and one end up learning the other one language!
omg, thx! My parents are always speaking Lingala and French and I'm like I want to learn but I speak Swahili
hi Merveill! That's a super cool name.

Keep teaching us madam I'm Tanzanian and I love Lingala
It's weird cause I understand the language but can't speak it.
@ Danny mastar : You must be # DUMB ! Because people who are born with a disability of not being able to hear and or speak are normally called ; Deaf and Dumb.
In your case you can hear but cannot speak which technically makes you a # DUMB individual.
Any objection or opinion ?? 👍😉👌
Trill Faldon 😂
@@SleepSounds514 Hey, I am just telling # FACTS ! It wasn't ment to be personal. ✌😆👌
@@trillfaldon9983 @Trill Faldon: there's a big difference between "hear", "understand" and "speak" in the English Language. In learning any language the normal process is hear understand and speak.
You needed not insult anybody for expressing their experience. He listened and understood but can't speak. How does that make him "dumb" or whatever.
@@vitust407 You are still # DUMB if someone speaks to you in a language that you say you understand but you can't answer back that technically makes you # DUMB, end of story. Otherwise better just say you don't know or understand. Because there is a fundamental difference between perception based "thinking" and knowledge based "understanding."
Someone who says " I think I know" is still in a state of doubt, confusion and still figuring out the correct answer and his final response most probably would be perception based. Hence not correct answer.
But someone who says " I know that subject. I understand it very well and can explain it fully and categorically". Then the second person statements of conviction displays knowledge based practical experience.
Conclusion ; perceptual thinking is devoid of practicle knowledge.
"Thinking is not knowing !"
While the technical understanding of subjects in this case a Bantu language means one is equipped with practical know-how and application of proven linguistic prowess and grammatical knowledge expression expertise.
Eish! Am from Kenya! Am here to learn lingala! Thank for sharing...I'll be watching regularly!😘😘😘
Crazy thing is close to 40% of what she covered is almost identical word for word with Luhya (in Kenya). I guess being Bantus mean we share a ton of words and phrases.
Am from drc and I could easily understand many things from luhya language !! You people are ours !

Enough with the divisions.

THEY'LL NEVER BE KONGOLESE, NOR HAVE KONGOLESE CITIZENSHIP. NEVEEEER.
@@iamkongo9248 who are you to determine who's congolese and who's not? It's like being neKongo, not every congolese is neKongo neither every neKongo is congolese.
@@wbtjob YOU'RE HERE TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK LINGALA. DO THAT. WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE'S LAND, DON'T GET INVOLVED.
