Ephesians (Ab’efeso) 6:10-18

10 Ekisembayo, mube bagumu mu Musengwa, n’obuyinza bwe obw’amaani.

Lusoga is a Bantu language, and it's one of the main languages spoken in the area of Uganda we were staying in. The children were so keen for us to learn their language and tried to teach us so many different words and phrases. They would point to different body parts and then state the word, asking us to remember it, or they would say the English word and then translate it. I'm not brilliant with languages, so I struggled more than a little bit with recalling the hundreds of words they tried to teach us. Rachel, on the other hand, was absolutely incredible and the children absolutely adored her for it!

Rachel & the children did manage to teach me how to count to 10 though and this is how:

Ndala.

Ibiri.

Isatu.

Inha.

Itaanu.

Mukaaga.

Musanvu.

Munaana (my personal favourite because it sounds like banana).

Mwenda (memorable because it sounds like Buwenda).
