      Is it not a known stereotype that taxis are synonymous with Zulus?
      Is it a cool thing to be associated with taxis now?

      @yanavida ok, first lesson, when pronouncing most of indigenous SA languages, and most other African languages always remember the following:
      The vowels are pronounced as follows:
      A = ah!
      E = eh!
      I = E
      O = oh
      U = ooh!

    • @sabelozulu5161
      @sabelozulu5161 9 месяцев назад +1

      To pronounce clicks;
      C - press the front tip of your tongue
      X - sound it at the back side of your tongue, left side is easier
      Q- hit the top/ ceiling of your mountain with your tongue
      K- force out the k with the tongue hitting the top of your mouth

    • @sabelozulu5161
      @sabelozulu5161 9 месяцев назад +1

      Still on clicks:
      Ch- sound the c lighter, like you're breathing while saying it
      Xh- sound the x lighter, also like you are breathing
      Qh- same others, sound q lighter
      Kh- sound like English K
      Ph- sounds like English P
      P- press your lips and force the air out
      G- sounds like g for go
      Bh- sounds like English B
      B- sound very light, like you are opening your mouth while saying B
      D- is the same as D

    Hahaha my gosh. As a native South African living in Johannesburg, I cringed through most of this. I think your particular experience was very singular. lol at the codes (mostly in estates - not true of every single listing on Airbnb) and the adapters 😂 you know we also do have 2 point plugs and sockets right?
