Shona and English

2 Comments

Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

I speak English and Shona with an ongoing desire to become fluent in French. My mother tongue is Shona; however the older I get I find most of my thoughts being in English.

I understand a lot of Jamaican patios and Nigerian pigin and honestly I feel like me and the little doggy have a mutual understanding.

I’m not sure how it impacts my life, but slowly I have started to worry that my grandchild may not speak Shona; but if they are fluent in French or Twi, then how could that break my heart?

What do you speak or wish to speak?

“The Government has carried out the Land Audit and we shall ensure we repossess from those with excess land. We have agreed that Youths and Women must be the major beneficiary of the land. We as the older generation played our part by bringing Independence and it is now your role as the younger generation to fight the economic empowerment war”.

“You have a choice to make, whether to participate in demonstrations that destroy property or embrace Government empowerment programmes. When you destroy a shopping mall, what do you think you will achieve other than punishing others and yourself. It is the same people who destroy infrastructure that wake up the following day crying for development. So as youths, be careful about what you do and participate in”.
