    Hi guys!

    This is great fun!! The click-sound is sounding sooooooooooo incredibly stupid when I am trying to pronounce it!! I am glad you guys cannot hear my clumsy practice hahaha!
    So come on, learn us some more words with the click-sound to improve my pronounciation. Preferably words that have to do with soccer of course!

    Byebye, once more: Really enjoyed it!

    I’ve just started playing soccer with some of the locals here in Sea Point, Cape Town.

    Words I have come across so far are.

    Ishibobo: to pass the ball inbetween a players legs
    Woza: Come

    Anybody like to name some more that players use on the pitch?
