winnie Posted October 23, 2008 there is no standard spelling in aff somali, what qualifies this person to teach written grammar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayidSomal Posted October 23, 2008 for chubacka shaken and deterred Degniin: Waligiin haysku deyiniina inaad mar kale af-lagaadeysan af-soomaaliga suuban - haddaad idinku is nacdeen - waa wax idinka iddiin yala. isnacnimadiinu yeysan luqadayada usoo dhadhicin. :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted October 23, 2008 ouch! You should go an tell us all how interesting it was but I think anything to do with grammar is guranteed to put anyone to sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted October 23, 2008 sayid lol classkaas ma adaa qaatay walaal.....sifiican ayeey soomaaliga kusoo bareen ma istidhi Jokes aside, every somali person needs to take pride in their language and try to at least converse in it. excellent course, something we could all follow. we do have provide somali courses actually. It's sad when you see chinese/japanese/russian or the likes speaking their language even though their greatgrandparents were born here compare to us somalis who were here less than 20 yrs. Somehow, I feel like we underestimate our language, which is pretty ignorant. We gota offer somali courses in the weekends....(I wonder why all these somali organizations haven't thought of it). Time for change and ye another tip make sure the kids speak Somali at home. I mean hey they are going to learn English at school, and anyone they associate with outside their house will speak English. But nt that many people will speak to them in somali.so what better way than to make sure they speak nothing bt somali at home. The lack of communication b/w somali kids and parents actually comes from miscommunication. When the child can't speak somali, and can't express what they want. And, similarly when the parents cant instil in their kids their values since they cant even communicate w/ them.... as they say schooling starts at home.... ubadkiina af somali kula hadla.. my 2 cent!

Gheelle.T Posted October 23, 2008 Originally posted by shaken and deterred: there is no standard spelling in aff somali, what qualifies this person to teach written grammar? Who said that? of course Somali has standard spelling as well as grammar. Maybe you should try taking that class while the offer lasts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir-Qalbi-Adeyg Posted October 23, 2008 Somali language is useless, no point in learning it, somali kids are better off learning mandarin or something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
