Fah I gotta agree with Cinque on this. You are born into a Somali-speaking family, how could others have more of a personal connection? You are showing a defeatist attitude in this thread and you must likely won't learn Somali not because you can't because you don't want to judging all the self-imposed barriers you put up. Teeda kale you have written perfect Somali here before so I don't know what the hell you are talking about.

He's 28 who grew up in Quebec and came to Canada when he was 4 years old
He was speaking to me in afsomali and I said Siju foqal Siju and I think niyada ka jabiyey
Cause he said, why the fock am i trying when people like me put him down
Now I think he has given up on learning af Somali


Do U think I was right doing that and have U ever done that shiid before?

You're such a loser.

so ur tryna tell me u have less Somali people around you than those white folk?

waryaa you are from a Somali family and you have Somali relatives and don't tell me there are no Somalis in your area.

Nobody said it would be a walk in the park, but ur making excuses.

okay, okay

the only time i even remotely start learning is when my ayeeyos are here but they're in ohio now

my parents never been strict with it, i urged them many times to... but after a week its not upheld... my mom speaks somali about 85% of the time to us atleast

and yeah theres some somalis in my area but we all speak english... the evironment is not conducive for learning somali though


i dunno, sure its excuses but i've tried man... i've gotten better than I used to be say 3-4 years ago... I atleast have a clue about somali issues now (unlike my younger brothers who dont know a damn thing...and i mean nothing).. i can perfectly understand af somali

my issue is mainly speaking coherently and being original with speaking,... thats been my issue for a while...im glad to say i can atleast read somali too just cant comprehend it fully

i just blank out with speaking, i dunno what it is

I understand where ur coming from bro. The answer lies in practising as much as u can. Read a lot of Somali texts, so u acquire a good grasp of Somali grammar and vocabulary. Listen to online interviews, preferably Somalis with Mudug accent, bc all other Somali accents are creolized versions of the real Lang.

Speaking will come, but u have to stop being afraid of the responses.

who the hell cares if u agree or not, get out of this thread..

Cinque Mtume, why you're angry tonight inader?

Coolpoison, you did the right thing, a 28 year old who can't speak af Somali is just a disgrace.

28 yr old who cant speak Somali well?? so caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadi!!

poison instead of trying to put down others why don't you do something about your skeleton look like ass. Eat some food you fuking stick.

There is absolutely NO excuse. If these white ppl can do it, then all these kids born and bred in qurbaha can learn their mother tongue too

ES, I agree completely, there is no excuse, when I was 15-16, I didn't speak much somali, I had to basically teach myself as well, and it paid off, today, waxan ugu hadlaa soomaaliga anigu hadaa ka imatay Gedo.

Man love my little niece, when we reply to her in english she says "af somali nagula hadal" now that is something to be proud of.
