Spanish? Count me in!🤗😊; #240

Greetings and welcome to my blog. Languages are very important part of our existence and the medium of communication. It varies from people to people, culture to culture and places to places.

Some are very easy to learn and some are difficult. Some are tongue easy and some are tongue twisting leaving you wondering where you got it all wrong. So it was for me some years ago when I was residing at the southern part of our country. I was posted there by the people I worked for and I stayed there for one year but in that one year, I couldn’t even as much as learn the little details of the language they speak.

I tried to see if I could learn alittle starting with the basics of greeting and all but it was a lot to grapple it. The language was tongue twisting and after much trial, I gave up. Where I reside now in the western part of the country has a very interesting language which is also one of the three major languages in our country, the Yoruba language.

I love the language even though it has its own complications like seeing one words meaning 7 different things when pronounced in seven different ways. Hahaha. It’s hilarious but I enjoy listening to them talk. Just yesterday I went to the market and the seller asked me some in the language but I didn’t understand. I told him, I don’t understand what he was saying and he was simply laughing at me. They have a way of making you want to learn the language by force because they would speak in their language whether you are from their tribe or not. So I would have to force myself to learn it.

Right now, I can speak English, which is my country’s lingua Franca, I can speak pidgin and my native tongue Igbo language very fluently. I love Spanish language a lot and that the language I am currently learning. I downloaded the Duolingo app on my phone to learn Spanish and I have been learning with it. I love the language. I have been consistent with it and I am able to communicate in basic things and making simply sentences.

I would have gone along way in speaking fluently If I have the funds to subscribe to their video voice chat where I would speak with their robot or their Duolingo max subscription. The amount is very high. I would need about 327 hive to do that subscription and thats alot of money. Hence I have to make do with the normal subscription routine and it has slowed my learning pace but I am still pushing gradually and enjoying the process.

Today I completed my day 140 streak with my Spanish language learning where I strengthened my weak skills through learning about grammar with first and second person pronoun and it’s been a great journey. I hope to be fluent with it soonest. Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoy Spanish too. Till next time.

Gracias y hasta luego🤗.
