Episode 3.1: Udamkpi Recap

Published: Dec. 14, 2018, 4:45 p.m.

This is a recap of Udamkpi, double consonant letters in Igbo. It is intended for learners who may want some additional help practicing these digraphs and working on putting them into action with some vocabulary words. 

  • Ch chara - ripe 
  • Gw egwu - music 
  • Gg Igbo 
  • Kp: Akpa - bag 
  • Kw: Sounds like the “qu” in queen 
  • Kwusi - stop Nw Nwoke- man/male Ny inyere- to give 
  • Sh: Nshiko - crab 

We also spoke about the consonant Ṅ. It is NOT an Udamkpi but just a difficult consonant for learners and so reviewed in this episode as well.

  •  Ṅ ịṅụ- to drink aṅụrị ---- to rejoice/happiness 

the sound made between the two words Ṅ - saying "longing" then try saying it only with the "ng" 

Learning Tools Gb- say "tug boat" fast, the sound made between the two words Kp- say "stuck pot" fast,
