Ohh ok...Since you understand and can speak a little bit of it. It just takes living in Asaba, Enugu, Owerrir, Awka, Onitsha, Aba or PH for 1 year and i can assure you that you will master it. I've also not mastered Iggbo language as i mostly grew outside Igboland and i'm thinking of spending at least one year in an Igbo town to mix with people. The Igbo youths around me here are efulefus that's why i rarely associate with them. You'll most likely see me with Yoruba chaps my age than Igbos.

Lies. I know somebody who grew up in Aba and can't speak shït. My cousin grew up in Enugu and can't even speak it to save his life. Even I (who grew up in Lag) have a better shot at identifying as Igbo. One of my close friends was bred and buttered in Asaba and the only thing she knows well is "Chineke me"

Drop all this jare. If you don't put your mind into learning it, you won't learn it.

Yes, it's possible to live in Igboland and not learn much. That's why you'll need to associate with people from the area where you live and communicate with them in Igbo. You can't seclude yourself and hope to learn it. Learning comes with associating and not necessarily living. My mum was born in Lagos and but can't speak a word of Yoruba. That's because most people she associates with are mostlty Igbo women like herself. I also know Yorubas in Lagos who can't speak Yoruba. Most of them live in highbrow parts of Lagos where you don't hear a lot of Yoruba.

Exactly.

@Adaobi, you can hire a private Igbo tutor. I swear, my friend's parents hired one for him and his siblings.

Its kinda like my cousin in Lagos. She can speak two kinds of Yoruba (the general Yoruba and Ijebu) and her Igbo is just like mine - crap !

That could be my brother. He speaks some quality yoruba but his Igbo is weak, very bland and annoying.

and to think he took the prize for best in Igbo in high school

adaobi123:

It maybe costly though

Afam4eva:
You see why i said you should leave London asap. That place makes people tight fisted.

adaobi123:

Are you serious ?

I wonder how the other competitors Igbo sounded like

hahahaha!! All the tests were written. I thought he really knew Igbo, it was all a LIE. It turns out he only knows how to write it.

funny thing is he also speaks french, another man's language well but he can't speak Igbo that well...his own case is a lost one.

OkparaIgbo: Nne (Adaobi) you come across as one extremely lovely and nice person with a gorgeous personality.. I will definitely like to meet/chat up, I have also checked out your tumblr page and it seems really interesting. You seem to also have a passion for Igbo culture and people which is 100% me. Anyway long story short lets talk..
