RE: Apparently, I bottled an opportunity to learn multiple Nigerian languages.

in Cross Culture3 years ago

I remember the 2 months I served in Kogi state. I wasn't so interested in learning their language but the students were always excited to teach me new words. I learnt a few things enough to mix the language with English to make a sentence but I forgot everything a couple of weeks after I left😂😂

Haha... This thing about language is so hilarious. It was like that for me when I thought I was already an expert after studying french as a subject in secondary school.

I later got an opportunity to meet some french speaking ivorians. Haha. That was when I realized that the words I learned in school were not enough to communicate with a native speaker.

Funny enough, I'm already forgetting the small french words I know. It's so weird 😂.
