Language is not just about the transmission of messages and information, it is the custodian of culture, heritage, values, identity, spirituality, and history.
I can watch video over and over again. She is telling my story. My first year of varsity from the rural Limpopo was like this. I was made fun of untill we wrote tests and my results would shut them up. I cannot stand people who do this to others. Even here people still laugh at black people who are not fluent in English but they clap for a white person for trying our African languages. They would say oh she or he tried. am fluent in my mother tongue and English is just an additional language. I also agree with accents and pronunciation.
They used to laugh at me for not being able to speak my home language fluently. Sad to say it turned me off from embracing Sotho culture until I was an adult
@@LearningLife77I am sorry to hear that. It was not right but you should never have allowed them to deny you your heritage. Now that you are an adult I believe you are fluent now and you know better.
@Neo Montja Thank you! I learned to love who I am , and to love my country and find my place . That eagerness to embrace SA and Lesotho is part of why I watch videos about us Africans .
@@LearningLife77 It was wrong for them to make you feel that way. I am a proud Mosotho girl living in Canada for over 20 years. I still speak Sesotho fluently. Although I was born and raised in South Africa, my father was born in Lesotho. So I raised both flags proudly high🇿🇦❤🇱🇸. My Soweto accent hasnt changed and I am proud of that. I hope by now you speak Sesotho proudly and has accepted who you are❤
Jup, I get corrected on my grammar 24/7, but none of these people can speak two languages. I am white, and I love this girl! Man I whish I could do what she did evertime someone laughed at me. Respect!
I mean even in the US we as black people have our way of speaking that's different from standard English and we still get ridiculed, told that it's ghetto, told that it's not real or proper or educated, but it's a preservation of culture that we created in a place that tried to destroy our cultures. I felt this because of the fact that I have to decide if I want to be me or be understood by outsiders who don't care to learn my own language too
In Africa,most kids learn english because they are forced to..........do we like it? not really but we have to because our colonizers still have a strong hold on us.......Africa is not exactly free.On the bright side,learning it is somehow beneficial

I love my African language. By the way why don't u western folks learn our African language???
Your message is a beautiful suggestion but it came out rude. Pls learn to do better.
That is just how the person feels.
You should consider reacting to language videos. Maybe learn a bit of other languages and vocabulary.
Corporate environment got me to speak or pronounce words properly
