Vern Learns Oshikwanyama!
In Part 1 of our Owambo Culture series, follow along with Peace Corps / Namibia Volunteer Vern as he learns how to greet people, name food, and count to ten in Oshikwanyama - one of the languages spoken by the Owambo people in Northern Namibia.
Language-learning a major part of each Volunteer's service. Each has his or her own way of learning, but talking with host family kids is a great method! Learning a local language such as Oshikwanyama is a big asset to our Volunteers' all-important community integration.
