You’ve made it so easy. Plus my folks live in Accra now. I don’t think it’s there but still I want to know more. I have to say learning Xhosa is so much easier than Spanish and I’m Hispanic ethnically (both parents are Pañamánian. We weren’t allowed to speak Spanish at home since the states were our home, so all I learned was Jamaican patois (grandmother and great-grandfather). I was supposed to be brushing up on my Spanish this year but instead found myself learning Xhosa and Zulu instead. And to think it started with listening to Bishop Dube’s music. Thank you for the lesson.

Wow, this is crazy. I'm Caribbean (dominican) and we use this clicks as means non-verbal communication (as well as whistleing).While we don't use clicks as consonants as the Xhosa people do, I find them very easy to replicate separatedly. Using them in a sentence is a whole different beast, but I thought this would be harder. I guess we kinda have those tongue and cheek muscles better developed than speakers from other languages. I find guttural sounds in French or Arabic, or nasal vowels in Russian or Portuguese way more difficult han these clicks.

Thanks Khaya for such an explanation of our beautiful language. If you know how to drink using a straw this could be easy for those who wanna learn the language. Its all about the formation and positioning of the tongue on the upper inner part of the mouth (Hard Palate) and different teeth (incisors and premolars). For a "C" - Put an imaginary small straw between tip of your tongue & gums of the top-front teeth. The click will come the "QUICK-SHARP" suck of the air. For a "Q" - Withdraw and flatten the tongue until the tip touches the area where the hard palate start to curve up . Put an imaginary small straw between the tip of the the tongue and the hard palate and slightly press it. The click with from "QUICK-SHARP" sucking the air by bending tip of the tongue. For a "X" - Put an imaginary small straw on the slide of the mouth (between premolars). The click will come the "QUICK-SHARP" suck of the air.

We use the X (North East Algeria) as an interjection meaning "yes". we double the C sound (CC) to mean "no" and the Q one as a filler for one you try to finish a sentence but you are kind of lazy to say the last word. We never use them as letters and it never occurred to me to count them as such. This is really interesting :)

+Islam Benfifi In Dutch: - C is written "tsk" and used to express irritatedness non-verbally. It is either just "tsk" or "tsk tsk tsk" (strong disapproval); - Q has not a clear meaning. It reminds me of the song: "If you happy and you know it, clack your tongue!"; - X is used to make the horse running if it stands still, or run faster if it is already running. I notice that there isn't much difference between English and Dutch.

Oh man, this language is so different from anything we Western Europeans are used to, I am totally amazed! I mean, getting the clicking sounds alone may take a little practice, but is still doable. But then combining it with noise from the vocal cords seems almost impossible! Especially since the vocal cords are being vibrated by air going towards the outside of your body, while the clicking sounds are produced by creating a vacuum that basically sucks air inside the body, so how do you do that? Towards where do I have to make the excess colliding air flow? ;-)

This is so cool and an amazing solid resource. Thank you for your teaching! I find i can better vocalize the letters and sort of humming to train my throat to make both sounds at the same time. I think that’s where a lot of English speakers get tripped up, and also why it’s such a marvel. We don’t have any glottal stops like Arabic or tonal distinctions like Vietnamese, let alone two sounds at once. So it’s challenging to push my brain and throat to start making the words that are one with these letters. I can picture people struggling to retrain their brain with these small bites and then listening to a native Xhosa speaker carry a conversation or sing and getting so lost in the beauty and novel experience of it and feeling incapable. But really should just push on and be ok with the complexity and investment of time that will likely be far less than imagined. And trying matters! Too often English speakers expect to be talked to in just English, for others to adapt to them. I think one of the highest forms of respect is to try and learn at least some of the languages most commonly spoken around them or to wherever they may visit. You can only truly get to know someone if you can understand them by the words in which they understand themselves

I appreciate this post. My daughter and I wanted to learn the different clicking sounds and this was a wonderful demonstration.

This is cool. It's interesting to see these sounds used in a different way--English speakers do use them, but we don't use them as parts of words, so we aren't used to integrating them into other sounds. We also don't necessarily realize we're even doing it. Q is totally my favorite one. It's fun to make.
