Anyone have any good resources or ideas for furthering the pursuit to effectively learn Igbo.
I am the African American Mama of 4 yr. old. Father seems to be incapable and does not understand value of teaching language and culture, However to me identity, culture and language are paramount. She speaks and reads english very well and is four. I wish that he had been teaching her Igbo all along. I have been studying consistently, but pronunciation is sometimes difficult. I have found one app that is very helpful, but rudimentary "U Talk Igbo". I think I am looking for something to understand pronunciation codes or combinations like: distinguishing between the sound of nti ear/cheek OR Olee ebe ulo aku di? when the o for example in ulo will sound like ula because of what follows? I'm thinking maybe there is an alphabet pronunciation phonetic chart and book on Igbo grammar. I just want her to feel comfortable and be able to communicate when she is old enough for me to return to Lagos etc. to meet the rest of her family. Any help is greatly appreciated! Imela!
