Learn Igbo (or Yoruba) by Mercie88: 3:10am On May 13, 2009 |
Hey everyone, I wanted to post about learning Igbo. As most know there aren't many places to take an Igbo class in the US. ![]() There are two University-run Igbo classes this summer: UCLA and MSU. Ucla site is http://www.international.ucla.edu/languages/news/article.asp?parentid=97643 You can pay for the class or get a fellowship. Fellowships to MSU are for graduate students only.Sorry. The first round of fellowships have already been given out, but Michigan State Uni (they're hosting) still has some more to give -- ask me how I know ![]() Also, UCLA is offering an Igbo class this summer. Undergrads can use their summer aid packages to pay for it so it's a good deal! But, they might cancel it b/c registration is low. If we want our languages taught, we have to show it! If you decide to take the class either at UCLA or MSU be sure to call/email (http://africa.msu.edu/scali/interest.php) them and tell them of your intent first or they'll cancel the course (b/c they think they won't have enough students etc.) Happy learning. ![]() ***MSU is also teaching Intro. Yoruba. Please, if anyone knows of any other Igbo classes this summer or fall, post them. Thanks! |
