  • 18.12.2019 Plettenberg Bay, South Africa: Not only did our knowledgeable guide "X" at the Jukani Wildlife Ranch and Care Centre teach us many interesting facts about each of the park’s species. He gave us an excellent demonstration of his totally cryptic, but cool sounding language Xhosa. www.sailingvilja.no

    I have met and spoken to this man! It was years ago now and I was much younger so sadly I can’t remember his name but he was a wonderful person. Really insightful regarding the animals at the shelter and we had a personal conversation regarding honey badgers for quite some time!

    Thank you! My mother grew up around the Xhosa people and used to speak it. I have been trying to learn how to speak basic Xhosa to show her, so examples of these pronunciations helps greatly. Funny enough, my partner is also from Bolivia, and his mother is, and speaks, Quechua, which has many similar "clicks" in the language. Learning how to pronounce words in the Xhosa language has helped me speak Quechua as well.

I have a friend from South Sudan and I am learning his native language, Nuer, which is fascinating. I look forward to making a video speaking it with him and I will definitely do the same if I have the opportunity to get a Greenlandic friend.

Jesse Jackson ... you are welcome to visit my dinosaur ranch and unicorn petting zoo anytime for a free lesson on exolinguistics though ... 🙂

      @rav ever see the Matrix? Remember that scene where Neo gets "jacked in" to the loading program and they start loading martial arts and weapons training programs into his brain and he suddenly pops up and tells Morpheus: "I know Kung Fu ..." and then, in the next scene, Morpheus responds "Show me ..." ? Pretty well-remembered, famous movie scene, so I imagine you know what I'm talking about. Well, it _didn't_ happen anything like that, at all, but it was still kind of cool, I guess. 😎
