Learn Igbo: Big and Small (Ukwu na Ntakiri)

Globalisation means that people have to migrate from one country to another. During migration most people move with some aspect of their culture but the ability to make sure the next generation imbibes this aspect of culture while in a different continent is a different ball game. However this Nigerian mum in diaspora has made it a mission to teach her children, and others of similar ilk, the Igbo language with an effective unconventional 'Oge Akwukwo' structure. Igbo is a language spoken by the ibos which is one of the three major tribes in the eastern part of Nigeria. When I saw it, I was quite thrilled to see the hard-work & dedication she puts in to ensure that her children and others alike don't lose this aspect of their culture. She engages them to interact in Igbo with short focused learning topics as can been seen on the 'Akwukwo LLC' YouTube channel. They upload frequently and have everyday conversations that your family can relate to... click on the link to watch a playlist compilation of some of their sessions which are specially geared towards children's learning attention span PS: These learn Igbo videos are one part of Akwukwo LLC's mission to Igborize children everywhere. They just published two colorful premium children's boardbooks in the Igbo language. The books can be found on their website www.akwukwo.com. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVZClbqbigyh9z5S76PBHjtuFX4shJjj7 Follow/Like Them: Instagram: @akwukwo Facebook: @akwukwo Twitter: @akwukwoLLC YouTube: Akwukwo LLC
