OK, folks, I am loving this, and have already been sharing it with our volunteers. Really fabulous.
I do have a couple of suggestions for improvement. You must realize that your readers will beginning from zero, which means they have no familiarity with Xhosa sounds.
1. So when you are using a click or pop, it would be helpful to go over that sound a few times and how it is made.
2. Also, it will also help to speak a little bit more slowly first — while you break down the words syllable by syllable. Then you can repeat them as you would normally say them.
Keep up the great work!
Peace
