Today was the first day of Xhosa class. Jeannie and I showed up really hoping that the Language Training Center was a real place, and sure enough, it was!
There are three types of "clicks" in Xhosa -
x - the sound you make when you are trying to get a horse to speed up
c - the "tsk tsk" sound, or the sound someone makes when you are giving a little attitude (my students would be experts)
q - the "cork" pop noise
My tongue is tired.
