Learn How to Speak and Write
Isoko Language Fluently



To be good in every language, you must be familiar with the alphabet, and the vocabularies. And Isoko language is rich with diverse dialects. Meaning if you are learning it, you should be open to all the dialects. Do not be biased toward any of the dialects. Also keep in mind that there is a central Isoko language. That will be our guide.

Tips of learning a new language.

  1. Learn a few greeting words in the language before you learn the alphabet.
  2. Learn the alphabet of the language you are learning, if necessary.
  3. Learn vocabulary. (at least ten each day)
  4. Learn to count in the new language.
  5. Don't worry too much about grammar.
  6. Work on pronunciation.

Hello,

Thanks for this great work. Please note the video on part 1 (alphabet and digraphs) has a low audio output and we struggle to hear it. Please can you work on it to get a better audio?

Thanks for the great work.

"Please" in Isoko is "iviole." There might be other related terms though.

Your teachings are wonderful, but pronunciation by non-indigenes is difficult because the tabulated words lack tone Mark's which are one of the most essential difference between other languages and the Engliy language. So try to include tone Mark's for easier and accurate pronunciations.

Hello, I am so excited to have found this website! One thing I want to know is if you will be teaching about sentence structure and how to combine these vocabulary words? Thank you so much, you are truly doing a great service!

This is Wonderful. More grace.

Thanks guys for your beautiful comments. The person who ask if we will be teaching how to use the vocabularies in sentences, sure we will and don't give up coming here. Before you could read English we learn i t, it, a t, at I n, in. So we are progressing in this. We are going to be posting from simple sentences to hard sentences.
This is why you need the vocabularies. With them you can make sentences. When people are talking you can easily get what they are saying.
