      Agreed, but he is also a talented educator. Some of the sounds he uses every day in his native language do not exist in English, and are very difficult for English speakers to emulate, but he has a way of helping ease that gap. People like him are completely vital to humanity. How the neck would we figure out what other languages mean without truly clever humans?

    These videos are so wholesome and pure and perfect. Even if you hear him say a Zulu word and you feel like you’re saying wrong. He just flashes that warm welcoming smile and tries again.

    I’m from KZN and I miss hearing Zulu - i was taught isiZulu at school and I don’t live in the country anymore but very often I look up isiZulu lessons on YT so I can hear and practice. Ngiyabonga Sakhile

    These videos are amazing. You should actually create a channel just for teaching Zulu, with all the impressive and diverse clickings that dwarf the phonetics of all other languages on Earth.

  • @DiscoDashco
    @DiscoDashco Год назад +4

    I watched just one video of this person and knew he was someone special. I am absolutely fascinated by his lessons in language and culture about the four main peoples within S.A. Although I’m sure his voice has been compared to that of the late Geoffrey Holder, it is truly meant as a compliment because Sakile’s (Saquilia) presence and warmth is equally indomitable. Sir, if you ever thought about new prospects in your career and life, consider ASMR or even becoming a narrator or voice over actor. Personally, I could listen to you for hours talking about ANYTHING.

      He has a wonderful voice, but even more wonderful is his ability to convey how sounds in his language can be pronounced by English speakers who don't use those sounds.

    Sawubona Sakhile. Thank you for another great video. I love to learn about your language and rich culture. I especially loved hearing about your relationship with Animals and how its so close to your people. The story with the Hippo and the Rabbit was great, very enjoyable also. Please keep giving us these great wholesome moments to enjoy!

    I plan to have Zulu lessons in our school's after school program! And Sakhile is such a great story teller. I plan to use his African stories passed down from generations to teach writing, by retelling his stories and asking for written responses to his stories! Such a cool dude!

  • @victoriaeads6126
    @victoriaeads6126 5 месяцев назад +6

    This is linguistic GOLD.....sir, you are a very talented teacher. I have a background in linguistics, specifically learning Russian linguistics as a native American English speaker. As such, I understand the value of an individual who can express a sound that isn't present in every language in a way that can be more easily understood (even if it will still be difficult to adopt, especially as a learning adult). You have a true gift.

    I thank you every day for your videos, Sakhile. It is because of you I have begun to learn the Zulu language and discover the culture and beauty of KwaZulu-Natal. I have been studying for nearly a month now, and I hope that one day soon I will be able to travel to Safari and Surf and spend a day with you.
    Uyakuthaza, bhuti. Ngiyabonga ngezifundo zakho!

    Sakhile! Keep up the amazing content, I know you will spread like wildfire on RUclips once the algorithm picks you up! I think many people in western countries have a desire to learn about true African culture. As what we were taught in school was a watered down version of this rich and beautiful culture just like you Sakhile!

    I thought I'd eventually get used to his voice if I watched enough of his content. Nah. Still absolutely entranced. Learning things from Sakhile heals a part of me I didn't realize was broken.
    I'd be interested to know about how the average person in that area interacts with nature. Are people losing their connection to nature as industry moves in? Is it a place where locals prefer to be there, or do the young people grow up dreaming of moving to some big shining city 100 miles away? Are there problems with tourists affecting wildlife (feeding them, interrupting their natural behaviors, ect)?
    We even have that problem here in my small town in North Carolina, USA. People come to go camping and end up feeding our local black bears. I've lived here my entire life and never saw one near the house until a few years ago. Now I've seen 5. All coming and looking for the sweet and tasty human food that campers have given them or left where they can get them. I don't mind bears. On the whole they are peaceful and shy. You see a bear and the bear is just as scared as you are. Now you see a bear and the bear is thinking "that thing has food". All thanks to irresponsible tourists. We are told we should be happy they come here because they bring money into the community. I haven't seen any money from them. Just bears and litter. I wish we could share the natural beauty of this area with outsiders the same way you're able to.

      Sawubona Overlord, Thank you very much for your comment!:) Thanks to Tourism in and around St Lucia and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park lots of the locals find work close to their homesteads in Tourism and some, like me have their own Tour Operator business. There are unfortunately some tourist who like to feed the monkeys, but in the park all the other animals live in peace with mother nature!
