Ndewo!  Daalu for joining my email list! As a reward, here is a sneak peak of some of my Igbo alphabet lessons that I have not released to the public yet. The first version of the full beginner lessons will be out in October 2017!

This lesson goes over the differences among K, Kp, and Kw in the Igbo alphabet.
