Did you ever get a school for local languages?

its tricky when the you have mixed families. Imagine your wife speaking to the kid in kiuk and you cant understand you have to keep getting translations and you speak to the kid in luo and have to keep translating to your wife..... ama you get relatives in the house speaking in kiuk and you are there and cant understand...... ni ngumu yenyewe.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

After the age of 14yrs kids can never forget their mother tongue.The sad thing is that apart from few rural school teaching kids their mother tongue,most school punish students who use it.


you can achive all things through Him(Jesus Christ)

@AlphDoti,I think the question has been answered.

What a better school than one in the evening conversing with your kids and asking them how thay hav been during the day in mother tongue.

Or discussing the plan of the day over breakfast in the morning with your kids in mother tongue.

There those rural schools that teach in mother-tongue,but you might not want to go that way if you stay in town.

I support tha ideas.Nowadays I talk to my kids(7 & 2) in Kimeru.They are really enjoying it.hope wataongea soon.Lets keep our M-tongues alive.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.Proverbs 11.3

We are talking of our mother tongues,our local languages if you like. But if you want to call them 'tribal languages' that would also do... but yes,thats what we want our children to learn.
