Filed under: Learning, Africa, Congo Every time I hear Amel Larrieux sing how she's got to get to Congo I somehow fix myself to thinking I need to get there too and the Congo is really a place I'm in no rush to see. Still, I don't mind picking up a few words should I manage to find myself there one day. As mentioned before I'm limited to good language sources for this particular tongue, so I'm reaching back into the English to Tshiluba quiz found at the Internet TESL Journal. Try this one and then sample Amel Larrieux's music for yourself. Today's word is a Tshiluba word used in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: kulela - colors Tshiluba is a Narrow Bantu also known as Luba-Kasai and Luba-Lulua. It is an official lang of the DRC in addition to French. Approximately 6,300,000 people speak the lingo and additional web resources are scarce. Feel free to leave a comment with any extra resources that could help others learn a bit more than what I've noted. You can continue learning the words for your own favorite colors by taking this English-Tshiluba quiz online. Chances are you'll get all of them wrong, unless you're an extremely talented guesser. After enough trial and error you'll eventually be able to ramble off all the colors of the rainbow and have no one to tell them to, except in the Congo. Past Tshiluba words: manimani, kalabi Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
