Are you learning Igbo to connect with your identity?
Are you learning so you can speak Igbo with your family?
Do you want to teach your children Igbo language?
If so, keep reading
Learning Igbo language like any other goal requires a plan
A detailed plan
With a realistic timeline
Then you need to follow that plan
Day in day out
For at least 30 days
Or even 90 days
This is because you need to give it time
Any progress or change takes time
Am I saying you’ll learn Igbo in 90 days?
Yes and No
Yes, if you are already at a certain level
Maybe you are speaking igbo already
You just wanted to get your tone and pronunciation right
Then 90 days is a good target
No, if you are a beginner
I say 90 days so you can review your learning process
So you can find out what’s working
And what’s not working
And make changes accordingly
That’s why I said 90 days
It is just a guide
For you to review your progress
And see if it’s time to make changes
Changes like
Getting another book
Purchasing another Igbo language course
Getting an Igbo language teacher or coach
Watching more Igbo movies
Or Igbo YouTube videos
Always review
You don’t always have to make a change though
If your Igbo learning method is working
Why change?
Just keep doing it
There are other things you need to learn Igbo
Things like
Making time for it daily (put it in your calendar!)
Researching Igbo language resources and choosing 1 or 2 to start with
Finding someone to keep you accountable
Etc.
When I teach and coach my clients in Igbo language
I use a 5-step approach
Which I have devised just for that
It takes you from making a plan to actually speaking Igbo
And beyond
