Omg Ty so much for this SERIOUSLY. Being “African American “ most of ancestors didn’t have the opportunity to pass down our culture traditions, languages. Recently learned I share Igbo ancestry(mostly )amongst a few others and serious about learning the language . Anyways just wanted to say thank you ❤
Thank you so much for doing this Yvonne, please keep it up. I have been using your first video for my son as he is learning Igbo from his dad and this helps. You are so good at explaining, if you can do some short videos and even maybe well known stories with subtitles so my son (and other children) can watch I would be grateful. It's just so hard to get quality videos teaching Igbo. I am so eager for my children to learn Igbo especially so they can talk to their grandmother who doesn't speak English. I find Africans are generally poor at passing down their languages to their children.
This way perfect. Could you make a video further breaking down the alphabets that have more difficult sounds to say like GB, GW, KP, etc. Thank you so much.
Love your helpful content! One question: The i with the dot below you pronounce differently in Aziza than in Fikoro. Sometimes you pronounce the i with dot like the letter e, sometimes like the letter i. I hope you get the difference I mean. When should I know how to pronounce the i with the dot below?
Thank you very much for this video,itis so helpful for an adult learner like myself. I have trouble hearing the difference in sound between the letters 'I' and 'Ị'. Is there a time you would use one over the other?
Ezigbo Ada ndi igbo, Imeela. My children are happy learning Igbo from me but when I showed them your video it became more interesting than ever. Though we are having troubles pronouncing KP. Thank you. Remain Blessed.
Ndeewo! Daalụ rinne na eme video. Could you please make a video about the difference between o, u and ụ ? Whenever the ụ is at the end of a word it sounds like a regular u to me. But when its pronounced on itself or at the beginning of a word it sounds like an o to me... Could you highlight the differences when pronouncing it with examples? Ka ọ mesịa!
Thanks for the teaching of Igbo language. Please, do you have a video of the Igbo alphabet pronunciation Aa B bii C chi D dii G gbi etc up to Z ? That will be of great help.
Thanks a lot for this video. Do you have any tips for understanding the difference in pronouncing the ‘i’ in iko and ichafu and the ‘u’ in ude and ukwu. They sound the same to me 👀
Daalụ rinne onye nkuzi. Is it possible you can make make a video to shine light on "i" and "ị", and "u" and "ụ". I am having difficulties differentiating between those sounds
Thank you so much for your videos I'm trying my hardest to know something before I get there to marry my husband and live there with him and his mom I'm learning how to cook some of the food I made okra soup I made Garri fufu and I'm going to make oatmeal fufu and egusi this week and I am trying to learn some phrases and things that I would need to know how to communicate with my mother-in-law so now this video is on my daily list as well thank you so much for it
So happy the videos are helping- Just remember to laugh at your mistakes - even native speakers learn new words everyday ( just like we all do in English and every language) . Get them ( him and his mum and family) to slow down and teach you! TH-cam is fantastic for cooking videos . Well done and I wish you the very best for the future .
@@LearnIgbo awe thank you I told Zimow goodnight in Igbo last night and he got so excited and said I am really trying but I really want to impress mama Obiora when I get there ❤️❤️
Thank you for your comment. As it states on the video title , intro and the examples in the video, I am saying the sound of each letter and giving an example of a word starting with the letter.
To further buttress what she said: In Igbo, the sounds of the letters are their very names. Further Explanation: Unlike in English where the letters of the alphabet can sound differently when in use, e.g 'E' and 'Egg', 'F' and 'Fill', and can even change sounds depending on the word e.g 'A' and 'Apple', 'Ace', 'Aeroplane', in Igbo, each letter have to sound exactly the same, in the alphabet and when in use (when spelling and forming words) and must maintain the same original sound always. For vowels, the sounds (which are also the names of the letters) are the same as given in the video. For consonants and double consonants, we add a weak 'eh' sound (as you heard in the video) to their ends to help us vocalize them, when we spell them out/pronounce them singly (Those pronunciations are the names of those letters as well). When those consonants/double consonants are used in words, we drop off that weak 'eh' because we now have vowels following them to pronounce them with. Hope that helped.
@LearnIgbo I'm having trouble pronouncing the N with a dot over it. Is there a way you can spell it phonetically for me. For example if a foreigner asked me to phonetically spell the letter 'K' I would tell them it makes the "Kuh" sound.
The easiest way to pronounce it is to say the English “ing” , like saying, reading, jumping, looking, etc . Ing is the exact sound for the Igbo alphabet n with a dot on top.
Thank you, but that is a dialectical variation . Ishi is another dialectical variation. It’s not typically used in mainstream Igbo - Igbo Izugbe, which we mainly use in teaching and broadcast .
Also I really want to say thank you for your consistent videos for the past 12 yrs THANK YOU SO MUCH and I can’t wait to become fluent in
Thank you so much for watching

@@LearnIgbo awe thank you I told Zimow goodnight in Igbo last night and he got so excited and said I am really trying but I really want to impress mama Obiora when I get there ❤️❤️
Can you clarify? Are you saying the letter sounds or the names of the letter, the way you’d spell a word. Thx.

hi can i know what the difference between shie and isi nri ? thanks ma
I think “shie “ means cook
“Isi nri “means To cook
Very good, my daughter used it for her assignment
Great to hear that 🙏🏾😊
I loved this! I practiced along with all of it :)
Thank you 😊🙏🏾
I cannot wait to see the igbo letters because I started learning igbo anyway just say the letters in igbo
👍🏾
@LearnIgbo I'm having trouble pronouncing the N with a dot over it. Is there a way you can spell it phonetically for me. For example if a foreigner asked me to phonetically spell the letter 'K' I would tell them it makes the "Kuh" sound.

I've it

Daalu nwa Ada igbo
good job but for "voo isi"
i would say "voo ajuisi"
Thank you, but that is a dialectical variation . Ishi is another dialectical variation. It’s not typically used in mainstream Igbo - Igbo Izugbe, which we mainly use in teaching and broadcast .
I would prefer voo nututu isi.
Igbo is
✨
Not abidii! It's called Abchd = A B CH D igbo alphabet ABCHD. (Like A B C D English alphabet) Igbo alphabet ABCHD A B CH D CENTRAL IGBO
It is called abidii Igbo- even though it is a b ch d. Do your research properly
@@LearnIgbo I will do so
a b
I can't pronounce Ụụ!!
If u can say school, why not? It appears to be same vowel sound in then long U: sound of the English Language
Igbo di amaka
