Ndeewo, a bụ m Ijeoma Akubue.

Hi, I am Ijeoma Akubue

I help Igbo learners speak Igbo confidently so they can

connect with their loved ones, pass on the language to their
future generation, and feel accomplished.

My clients are ready to speak Igbo so they can connect with

their spouses, in-laws and teach their children Igbo. They are
ready to ditch the frustration and put in the work required
so they can embrace their identity and feel like they belong.

With programs like one to one coaching, group coaching and

independent learning, there’s something for clients looking
to gain speaking confidence in a variety of ways.

I am a native Igbo speaker and I reside in the UK with my

family. I am committed to supporting you in your Igbo
speaking journey.

5 Ways to say ''good morning'' in Igbo

To speak Igbo, make the decision to do it no matter what,

and stick to it. As a beginner, you need the basics, not the
whole vocabulary from different dialects.

As you progress in your learning and speaking, you will hear

more words and be able to identify words with similar
meaning.

Just like most things in life, 'it's practice'. In this context, that
would be, speak, listen, write and teach someone Igbo.

You can teach someone, no matter what level you are at.
There are people who don't know a word of Igbo; so if you
know 10 words, hurray!, you can teach those.
