nacala

Come on Somalis, these girls do not have a good command of the somali language. I blv that their parents are to blame. As someone mentioned earlier, we, somalis, love using foreign words to look smart. If you watch Fadhi-ku-dirir Somali TV stations, you would note that many somalis add one or two English words in every somali sentence to look smart.

In Sweden, learning somali(or other mother tongues) are compulsory in the curricula. The somali kids speak relatively good somali. Their parents however - although not speaking Swedish- add a few words of broken swedish when they speak somali.

For a second there I thought she was speaking in tongues.

Commending these girls for at least trying to speak in Somali is one thing, but saying they speak good Somali is an other.
