At least, she is speaking Igbo with an America accent way better than those that speak Engligbo or none at all.

[collegebratify]

did she say the Igbo word for food is "KNEE?" smh I love the effort, but Missijele you need to Learn igbo first before giving lessons. you sound hurt.

[cassochinadoll]

Are you learning Igbo on camera or teaching it? I love what you are doing with your channel but you sound like my American boyfriend when he is pronouncing Igbo words. Try and put more Nigerian accent into the words you are saying. They are Igbo words not English.

@obiwashere Lmao!! Too funny!

[dellymode]

I'm proud of you for making this video but you need some accent on your pronunciation

[syrgirl]

Also, nda-ewo when spoken ends up sounding like "ndewo," which is why a lot of times, apostrophes are substituted when there isn't a sharp distinction. So 'nda-ewo' ends up being spelled nd'ewo. I would do a video response to correct your pronunciation for 'nna' 'nne' and 'nri' but I can't at the moment. Just don't forget that Igbo is a tonal language. The way you say the word "akwa" and where you place your accent is literally the difference between saying egg, cloth and tears/crying. :D

[syrgirl]

It might be important to note in your videos that dialect can (and often) decides how something is said. For example, "ndewo" is a greeting native to my mother's dialect while others might say "kedu." There's a ton of ways to greet from the call and response native to my father's region (mazi/nde-nne; nawo/naw'fo; ka-nka/ka-mu na gi) to "unu-no otuole," "ele otu idi/ele otu unu-di" and so on and so forth.

@obiwashere - Bros...positivity is a gift...please exercise it. If you can do better, please enlighten us, quick/quick!

[obiwashere]

@phens007 AMEN OOO

[obiwashere]

EVERYBODY WATCHING THIS VIDEO!!! THAT IS NOT HOW YOU PRONOUNCE "nni". This girl is butchering the pronounciation of these words with her american accent. If you're going to teach people our language, use the proper dialect. chai chineke me ebere
