lol, i'm laughing at your comment because I am Xhosa and i often receive this question from my international friends, they say we sound 'angry' all the time it should be impossible to whisper. Yes its difficult to whisper because you have to replace the clicks with soft words which are deep Xhosa and might results in the person you talking to not to understand what you are saying.

So, they could theoretically beat box and rap simultaneously. No need for a beat. ;)

[@xhalanga]

Mistake 1: That;s not pronunciation. Pronunciation of c is c in Xhosa not ca ce ci co cu. Exclude all the vowels please and pronounce the consonants independently of the vowels. Thanks. Mistake 2: Since everything can be learned, my language Xhosa can also be learnt. The way i understand language learning is like 2 people standing at different positions. One is here and another a few metres away. They need to be at the same spot for both of them to equally understand the same language. The distance from both of them is the same. It is not shorter/longer for the other. Therefore the level of difficulty for a French to learn English will be equal to the level of the native English person experiences when they learn French. All in all every thing can be difficult to learn for a beginner but it is not impossible. Simple master how to pronounce the click words independently and then proceed to combine them with the vowels ca, ce, ci, co, cu; xa xe xi xo xu and qa, qe qi qo qu. You should be able to master all that within an hour. You don't have to worry about the meaning at this stage as they mean nothing until combined with other letters to form a complete word. All you need to worry about is pronouncing it correctly. It should be easy as you simply replaces your own language's way of calling these clicks with our own version. Once you have mastered that, proceed to a slightly higher level of difficulty where you include the letters 'nk' infront of this clicks so you will have: nkca, nkce, nkci, nkco, nkcu nkxa, nkxe, nkxi, nkxo, nkxu nkqa, nkqe, nkqi, nkqo, nkqu Examples inkcazelo = explanation, inkcenkce = iron, inkcitho = expenditure, inkco=? inkcubeko = culture inkonkxa = cylinder/large can inkqatho = deceit, inkqekeko = split, nkqi = an ideophone symbolising hardness, nkqonkqoza = knock, inkqubo = program/show Once familiar with that proceed to include the letters :'h' and 'g' with the clicks. For example where you have c you include 'h' and 'g' and now you have 'ch' and 'gc' Note in the case of 'g' the click sound comes afterwards. Eventually we will have the following clicks: cha che chi cho chu (examples of words chanekileyo = accurately, umchamo = urine, cheba = shave, ichibi = lake, chola = pick (off the ground) ichule = expert) gca gce gci gco gcu gcada = fry, emgceni = in the line, gcina = keep, umgcobo = joy, ukugcuma = to be in great pain xha xhe xhi xho xhu ixhala = anxiety, ixhego = old man, umxhelo - accord, isixhiba = grudge, isixhobo = weapon, xhuma - jump gxa gxe gxi gxo gxu igxamesi = boarding school/place to rent by schoolkids, gxeka = criticise, gxi= ?, gxotha = evict, gxu = ? qha qhe qhi qho qhu qhatha = cheat, qhela = get used/acquaint, iqhiya - headscarf, iqhina = slope, qhuba = drive/proceed gqa gqe gqi gqo gqu igqala = veteran, gqebha = share/strike, gqiba = complete/finish, gqobhoza = puncture/pierce, gquma = cover Lastly we attach gx, gq and gc with n infront to make ngx, ngq and ngc Examples of words ingxolo = noise, ingqondo = mind, ingca = grass That's all. It doesn't get any worse than this. This you can complete in 2 days if you are very slow at learning. All the other words that are not represented by their clicks here it means they don't have any click sounds with them. Thanks for reading. Happy learning.

[@aperson8215]

Thank you! :>

[@TheBrotherlyTalksPodcast]

You a great teacher Mkhaya.

[@seguestt2]

But...your 'mistake 1' is not a mistake if it helps us learners pronounce/understand better. It IS easier for us to learn the consonant sounds when they're attached to vowels. You are thinking from the perspective of a natural speaker as opposed to a new learner. Mistake 1 is not a mistake because what he did truly helps.

[@seguestt2]

Oh...and you should upload a video demonstrating all that you've typed. It is indeed very interesting information but they remain just groups of letters until we learn how to pronounce them.

I have read, and can believe, that if you don't learn this as a child you probably are never going to be a fluent speaker - at least not at the usual rate of speech that native speakers use. Watching and listening to this, it seems like the clicks are coming from somewhere else, not the man's mouth. That's because I'm not accustomed to hearing clicks intermingled with speech.
