second language acquisition start with abusive words, abi you no know?
to learn a few abusive words is to start learning a new language.
besides, butter like you that do not understand their native languages, a little tutorial will not hurt. else how will those guys calling olosi and were to mean a fool will ever get to know how wrong they were.

so when next i call you OTONDO, you will know i am saying ba wo ni o?

Don't worry, I do not need a tutorial. Am quite fluent in my own native language. I also understand quite a bit of Yoruba, as I have lived in the South-West for several years.

You claim that 'second language acquisition start with abusive words.'  Well, that is certainly news to me. I used to think that studying a language started with a mastery of the alphabets in that language, followed by a study of the vowels that make up the speech patterns. But what do you know? Knotty says its' different. I guess we all live & learn a little, everyday.

So let's assume, I was trying to study Igbo, would you recommend that I should start a new thread with abusive words in Igbo, like Anuofia, efulefu and Onye ara?
