Ndicela – Please

"C" represents a bright, dentalized click that sounds like a disapproving tsk.

"Q" is a clear, dark click, as if you're imitating the "tock" sound that a clock makes.

"X" is sort of in between, with the tongue flat against the teeth. It's a little narrower and wetter to me. I don't know how else to describe it.

@tomolefe Wow, congratulation on that feat. what path did you take to learn French and Dutch? I've had been trying Duolingo for German, but find it more frustrating than anything else.
BTW, my grandfather was fluent in #isiXhosa but sadly saw no reason to pass it on to us.And unfortunately, #isiXhosa only became available at school towards the end of my schooling in the late 70s.

It's official, certificates and all: I've learnt two new languages over the past two years, Dutch and French, albeit both at the intermediate level. So surprising since I'd convinced myself for a long time that I was incapable of learning new languages. Now I'm becoming an accidental #polyglot.

Done with European languages for now. Going to try #isiXhosa again and I've found the perfect place to try. https://angula.app/home
