How to pronounce Zulu Clicks with Sakhile from Safari and Surf - Wilderness Adventures

[@Spikeelsucko]

Sakhile just has that kind of look and presence that immediately makes you like him

[@bigmerlin3795]

pure energy imo

[@breathingart]

It's so true!

[@Cruisewittme410]

Fasho

[@FoxvoxDK]

Languages are fascinating. I'll never not be amazed by their evolution.

[@Silvermoonscorpion]

Same..

[@DogWaterChamp]

You should read, "don't sleep, there are snakes," by Daniel Everett. Interesting work in language AND behavior

[@0_1_2]

Nice double negative

[@starbug345]

I heard as a baby, you’re able to absorb like a huge amount of sounds to one day be able to pronounce but since our language only uses a small fraction of the available sounds, you lose the ability and/or use

[@Khem1kal]

My history teacher was obsessed with zulu history and he taught us some conversational Zulu words, greetings and such, which are now imprinted on my brain! Today I learned that I've been saying the C click wrong for 40 years! Thank you for this video, fascinating.

[@ripme6616]

Haaaaa

[@JamesPlatt88]

reminds me of my french teacher in high school. took the class for three years, much later found out she was pronouncing stuff wrong.

[@fyefye6595]

I been waiting for this dude with the Golden African voice

Me too 😁

[@Dongatello]

I want this guy to narrate Audible books.

[@SarahBellummmm]

Move over Morgan Freeman..

[@LowtechArmy]

Man, I want him to never stop talking. Sakhile, you could recite to me the whole of human history and it would still not be enough. I’m going to SA just to go on one of his nature walks.(Not really, but it is fun to dream)

[@ChrisTian-ij9qh]

Ahah i also love his voice. Deep with vibration.

[@therockmannorl]

Spirits above and spirits below, Sakhile. You have such charm, and your timbre and cadance is so nice! AND SHOWING US COOL STUFF/ CONCEPTS! Doing good work here friend

[@vesislavaofficial]

My goodness your smile is beautiful ❤

[@into_the_void]

When a water monitor jumps your fence , you know ur in Africa ... I need this dudes voice on my GPS asap

[@21rd99]

nice profile pic ;)

[@nurilnuril4372]

Stop smiling dude! Your smile is so infectious I can't concentrate and follow along with you 😁

[@Uajd-hb1qs]

South Africa will be my next destination for a trip abroad.

[@8844krj]

I love hearing you translate into your language. Sounds amazing.

[@TheMox78]

what a beautiful, soothing human. loving this!

[@R_Rodas_]

This is so interesting; If I had his voice, I’d never shut up.

[@stiffzombie1537]

Dude radiates good vibes.

[@EverydayZach]

I have never really had the urge to go to south Africa.. But I would 1000% go if I knew I could have this man as a guide!

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I'm gonna have to play this again. I kept getting captivated by Sakhile's smile and forgetting to listen. He has what in my family, we call a "1,000 watt smile" cos, it's so bright it lights up a room. 😊

[@megaphonemysp]

Please make a million more videos of you explaining literally anything.

[@zannajoyce6698]

Take my upvote! Sakhile speaks so well!

[@dondacurator]

i got chills, this guys sounds like Maya Angelous little brother. Ola grootman, do more of these

[@ToyMachine22122]

Dude your energy is just awesome, such positive vibes it's amazing. Wasn't anything particularly funny about this video but it made me laugh anyway. The kind of laugh that comes easily when catching up with old friends, when you're mostly just enjoying one another's company. Plus it's educational and the language itself is fascinating! Please keep up the great work.

[@chrischarles9213]

Much love to you from the island of Jamaica 🇯🇲🙋🏿‍♂️

[@SolWake]

Oh this is so amazing! The video really helps give context and perspective to how the clicks fit in. It also highlights just how many potential sounds more widespread languages don't include. Really blown away!

[@BeazyFaSho]

Damn, its so crazy how languages developed so differently all across the globe. 😎

[@peoplez129]

Not really. It's an extremely primitive language. You couldn't even really call it a language, more like hand gestures than a true language.

[@casperguo7177]

@@peoplez129 This is factually incorrect on so many different levels it is actually impressive.

[@majormajormajortom]

As a South African, you my brother, are a legend 🤣

[@pedrito77]

Amazing. This video made my day. I wish this guy were my neighbor. I can tell he's full of kindness!

[@philorida]

The best explanation. As an American it seems like the clicks are the biggest challenge.

[@melodiebriere2743]

this guy needs to be famous

[@DesireeLourensArtist]

It was always the most difficult sound for me to learn. Love your videos. You do SAns proud. Keep on spreading the South African love of nature, life and living. Your channel is a breath of fresh air! Hamba Kahle!

[@Ntuthu-ZA]

We wouldn’t say hamba kahle in this scenario. Saying siyabonga (we thank you) or ngiyabonga (I thank you) would be more appropriate. Hamba kahle implies that one of you is leaving the other behind and travelling somewhere.

[@Jordie0001]

I was recommended this channel from "stray along the way". please do more about these amazing South African sounds They are awesome.

[@WhosaidIrene]

I love languages and find this not only interesting but absolutely melodic and beautiful to hear❤

This was marvelous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful pronunciations!

Thank you!

[@kimbrink8257]

Please make more of your awesome content

[@cybercroneCA]

Ah! Yebo! This was so good. I came as a volunteer and taught at the school across the highway from Tembe park for 6 weeks and I still couldn't say one of my student's names. Poor Cela! I'd get the C sound and then the rest, but it always sounded like two words. I found the X and the HL easy enough but the Q made me stumble too. Trying to say umqomboti made me sound as if I'd already had too many. And no one ever told me about the KL (KH?) or the B. In fact, in the whole Manguzi area I don't recall anyone ever using those sounds. Or maybe just because I didn't know about them, I didn't catch them? I came back several times, volunteering different places and travelling all over, and I fell in love with that country the first time I was there. I'm going to bookmark this so I can practice.

[@chrisbailey2098]

Amazing, his voice is a smooth as honey

[@CaduSanchez]

New goal to conquer: to visit this place and tour with this guy. How come this guy is not famous and viral?

[@kantorja514]

ERES tan agradable y esa preciosa voz es una joya 💎 MIL Gracias ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@riveradam]

I've never heard anything like this before. Thank you so much for sharing, from Alberta Canada.

[@ShadowBanned0]

I'm glad you created your own channel. I'm interested to learn about Zulu, and this is best source I have found so far. Greetings from 🇹🇷

[@jprod35140]

Thanks to share this wonderfull language with everybody on youtube... It's sound amazing to my ears, our language (French) sounds so poor in compair....It's seams like rythm is a part of you, even when you speack. Keep it alive!

[@jamesfranklyn8547]

Thank you, a complete joy to watch and listen to.

[@Little_kitten_lover]

You are a amazing man God has smiled on u for the man you choose to be I would love to meet you one day God bless you

[@ChrisTian-ij9qh]

Love this language ! The "sound" make it beautifull.

[@janetemmert3164]

If you watch his video on how his culture prays/ brings home a family member’s spirit who has passed outside of the homestead, you can witness how great of a communicator he is. He uses all the tools available to us to communicate what he is trying to convey: acting things out, analogies, repetition of an idea presented many different ways. If aliens land on this planet, I nominate Sahkile Dube to communicate with them

[@sarahvanburen7819]

👏👏👏💖💖💖

[@MOSMASTERING]

This is incredible! What a lovely dude.

[@Unidentifying]

The hardest part about it is seems merging the clicks with "regular" vocals, as i assume thats how its spoken too right?

[@pthelynese]

Agreed. I'm having a hard time convincing my voice to work at the same time. This is extremely interesting.

[@horseygurl143]

Difficult, but I feel like I am bettering myself by becoming more aware. I love these click languages!!!

[@Silvermoonscorpion]

It's tricky this far for sure..

[@erezshinan]

Just keep at it. One day it will click.

[@Khem1kal]

@@erezshinan I see what you did there and enjoyed it very much. 😅

[@Seiffer55]

This video is absolutely impressive. Thank you for eloquently explaining it.

[@0Caracalla]

Very interesting phonetics!!!

what an amazingly calm and straightforward video. thank you for this knowledge! so interesting

Sakhile, You do a fantastic job of demonstrating the Zulu Language. I hope you continue your work on KZbin. I look for ward to more videos from you in the future!

[@naymyo5503]

I can listen to him all day long.

Magnificent voice 🌸

[@KeepCalmNRockOn]

This was an excellent video. Thank you.

[@Malhaloc]

That's insane! Mad respect!

[@dalton6439]

I Freaking love this!!! THANK YOU! I

[@zg6879]

There is a song from an artist that goes by Ross from Friends called The Knife. There is a small phase in it that I have since learned might be in a Zulu song. It says, “Nkosi yethu ubukhulu bakho abulinganiseki”, which I read in a KZbin comment and auto translation says “Our God, Your greatness is immeasurable”. So beautiful! Can you teach me how to pronounce this correctly so I can sing along to this? It would mean so much to me, and thank you for doing what you do ❤

[@cybercroneCA]

Isn't the music great? I was a Johnny Clegg fan decades ago and branched out from there. I think SA has one of the most diverse music scenes in the world. And when I left SA the first time, after volunteer teaching in a Zulu school my kids sang Siyahamba for me because they knew how much I liked it.

[@FrequencyHorizon]

I have a feeling this video will come in handy one day~

@Safari and Surf - Wilderness Adventures - Hello Sakhile - It is so truly wonderful to watch your video explanations about everything you share :) Your voice, presence and smile are so calming and informative :) Please share more about the traditional culture and pronunciations. Could you tell a story one sentence English and then the same sentence in your traditional language please? Thank you in advance :) Anita :)

Thank you ! that was out*click*standing!!

[@patrickbriggs1182]

Absolutely fantastic, it’s so interesting and beautiful.

[@rodneymanwaring9396]

Wow great teacher

[@ayokay123]

Totally cool explanation.

[@urielgrey]

Your voice tone is super nice. It's interesting before I had braces on my teeth i swallowed the same way a baby does. It's called tongue thrusting because you push your tongue against your teeth instead of the roof of your mouth. It pushes your teeth out. Anyway one way they test the strength of your tongue is to make a click noises by both flicking your tongue from the roof of your mouth and but clicking by sticking your tongue up like your going to swallow and making a pop noise. Because i didn't swallow that way i actually made very little noise because my tongue was weak. I wonder if you have people who also have this issue but have less damage due to your languages... It seems like you would, I just wonder if they end up with less of their teeth pushing out. It so cool hearing how strong the click is when your speaking. Thank you for sharing and I am excited to be a new sub!

[@cissyparks1014]

I love the pronunciation of ur words
