The best way is to actually speak Shona yourselves in the house. Otherwise they will keep forgetting..they need to attach the meaning to the actions as well
True that’s how we teach them at home we ask them to do things and they will do it. Stay tuned for another similar video
That's true, but as a child who moved away speaking Shona and then lost the ability to speak but still was able to understand, I think it's good to have these lessons to encourage them to say these things out loud!
By the way I'm 23 and slowly learning how to put sentences and thoughts together again with the help of my wonderful family!
@@Natalie-of6ip yes, I was not disputing, I was just saying, naturally, anyone, kids or adults , learn more by actually doing and observing...
His think of this....How did they learn to speak Shina initially...like when they first spoke...you will realise they just surprised you buy saying out words you never thought they were aware of...they would have heard adults saying it
@@johnmurira2207 I totally see your point!
Technically the younger boy is right about the meaning of "iwe" because it can mean a lot of things depending on the tone! 😂😂😂
Very true. Thank you
It's Nashe Family you probably speak only Shona when home because children much easier constantly hearing something since I sadly have a better understanding of English than I do Shona because as a child I spent more time listening to English speakers that I did Shona
do you have wasap+50948068173
Iwe! Was spot on. Indeed it’s the shortened version of “What the hell do you think you are doing?”
lol yeah that’s true
😂😂 I died when he said “iwe”. That’s the universal word for ‘what are you doing’ that all kids understand
lol exactly that’s good enough 😂😂
Aww, 🥰 it’s nice to see that your kids are embracing their roots and learning Shona. I am a London born but my parents are Ghanaian. I didn’t grow up with my parents so I didn’t learn how to speak Twi and I was not taught about my heritage. I can only speak English but I can now understand a little bit of Twi. As a grew up in care, I didn’t have anyone to teach me much about my heritage. If I had a social worker who’s from the same heritage as me, I could relate well with that person and help me understand my culture. It’s important for us to understand where we came from, we know our cultures and languages. Some African parents don’t teach their kids about their roots due to colonialism.
Aww 🤗. It’s never too late hun keep learning you got this. Hugs 🤗
my husband is Shona, i am Zulu. I didn't even know where to start until i saw this. thanks.
kkkkkkkkkk great
I'm a Zulu lady dating a Shona man for over a year now, I think it's time to learn basics 😂
Thank you my lady. I am also tired of this English language. It makes other languages inferior. Further, why is everybody migrating to England? That is a small Island. It cannot accommodate the world. Let’s build our countries and promote our languages. Africa, you have everything everybody wants, wake up. Politicians must debate building Africa, using its resources, in that AU. Thanks Shonas, you make me proud. I am proud of Zimbabwe, especially Robert Mugabe. He started very well. Let’s not forget good things about him. We salute Zimbabwe. From South Africa.
Thank you so much dear. Thank you for all the positive vibes about Zim and Africa. ❤️
Lived in Zim for 5 years and I don’t even know much Shona 😭😭 my whole family speaks English. But my mum understands Shona. I’m in England now
Aww it’s never too late to learn
england too but i always miss shona
That little one is spot on.keep doing it
Thank you, yes he’s so into learning Shona.
I'm Venda and some of the words are similar
yaa that makes many Shonas follow mvango
Mom : What are you doing?
Kk : Iwe pointing a finger.....
Real Zimbabwean manje loooool
Lol
Oh I love that...."what are you doing?" and the little one shouts, "iwe!!"😂😂 too cute! Handsome boys n behaved!👏👏
Thank you so much
little boy is clever. Speak the language with them, they will learn quickly, however, keep it up
When they said"chikafu changa chichinaka" i just had to hit the subscribe button without delays😃
Weldone done Sis for teaching them Mother Tongue communication inoreruka when you visit home with them
Aww thank you so much for subscribing.Ndiri kuedza askana, I Hope with time vanoita better. 💕
😂 😂 me too
Good job ey, never forget the roots. I think the boys would learn it way easier hearing their mum speak the lingo in the house
Mmmm this is so nice l had to subscribe it so fast mmm ndazvida esp the ascent wen they are speaking shona ts realy sweet🤩🤩😍😍
Thank you so much and thank you for subscribing
The little one is on spot ... Yaaa both are smiling machine kkkkkk
Lol thank you so much
Ndazvifarira well done
The little one didn't know "musikana" because there are no girls in the house 😅 loved this! Vagona chaizvo!
lol I know shuwa ipapo. Thank you so much
God bless your family...you’re doing a good teaching your kids your mother’s language kuno vamwe havatodi kunzwa kuti mwana anotaura shona😭
Thank you so much, I understand I went through that at some point, stayed with people who only expected me to speak English mu Harare chaimo😅
Imagine...I love this
Your youngest child is evidence of the fact that it’s better to teach our kids Shona when they are younger. They catch on super fast. Well done for the lessons it’s encouraging especially for us in the diaspora
Karen N Thank you so much
Waal amazing
Well done Mother ...I know so many people who actually show off that their children cannot speak Shona, and yet they were born here in Zimbabwe...you just wonder.
Thank you so much.
I second that so many people think zvinoshamisira kusataura shona. But you lose so much by not knowing your heritage. People actually envy us when we say we are fluent in more than one language. Kudos mom. My sister has been the UK for more than 15 years and she has a rule no Shona once you enter the door. All three of her kids speak fluent shona. One was born in zim the rest there.
And its kinda pathetic hey
Love this Jane ❤❤❤ you've done well xx
Thank you 💕💕
Wooow so cute🥰🥰their akscent is killing me🙌,,the lil boy aaaaw I feel like hugging him
Aww sweet. Thank you so much
Wow this is wonderful they should never let go their mother tonge and roots
I’m trying my best. Thank you
@@ItsNasheFamily my name is shona! I had no idea there was a language but it sounds absolutely beautiful... you have a gorgeous family 💗
Tongue
Mother language,way to go.Its to their own advantage.
@@kebonyegoafitha9076 wow
This is beautiful. I’m teaching my 3 Shona as well and this video is helpful. Your oldest boy looks like my oldest. Skin tone, head shape, smile and all ❤️
Aww really that’s amazing keep teaching them zvinoita. Sweet thank you so much ❤️💕
*Me, a Zambian watching this 'cause apparently I understand shona 💀😂😂
Wow that’s lovely, most Zambians understand Shona the same as most Zimbabweans understand Nyanja and Bemba
Incredibly awesome....Shona has ka "That" so 🥰
You know🙌🏾💯Thank you
I really enjoyed watching. You doing a good job and can see the little ones are enjoying learning the new language and have already grasped a lot.
I know he’s enjoying it. Thank you so much
Great job Mum and Dad. I hit the like button too. Your Sons are so Gorgeous. Welldone. I will be sharing with my nieces and nephews born here and cant speak a word of Shona.
Aww sweet you’re so kind. Thank you so much
Well done to you. I have 2 boys 8 and 5 born in the UK and they speak shona. The best way is to speak shona as much as you can.
My dad who didn’t teach me Shona sent me this 😭 I’m only 14 so now I am trying to learn now

Well done amai...and you are so gifted with wisdom to do this for your children
Thank you so much
😊😊😊 awww the way they pronounce Shona words is just so adorable.
Thank you
Ooh gosh i love your channel. It just popped on my recommended channels. I subscribed just now and hit the like button. Your kids are amazing and cute🥰. The little one has a lot of energy..The older one looks just like you...❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for embracing our mother language 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Aww thank you so much for subscribing and watching. Thank you 💕❤️
These boys r so good and the little one even pronounces shona words better. U doing an amazing job amai.
Thank you so much veduwe 💕❤️
wow mom you are doing an amazing work, this is so impressive
aww Thank you so much
Omg they are so adorable . Their Shona is really good
Thank you so much
My son is 2 years and speaks shona fluently. I speak a lot of English at work so when I'm home I speak shona with him. Or have to translate to English or to shona so he understands wat it means in both languages
Weldone mum.You are doing a good job. I wish all young Zimbabwen couples would emulate your efforts. Asian and Jewish families are good at it ,Zimbabwens also can do it if they value to maintain the generational order of their cultural history. Those not doing what you are doing are short circuting your cultural heritage.
TC K True that we can do it too. Thank you so much
This is great. Keep on teaching the children and speak shona more often at home. Continue speaking to them in shona even if they answer back in English. My son was born in Zimbabwe and left when he was 8. He was starting to lose the grip on shona so I have noticed that when I speak to him in Shona it helps a lot.In Zimbabwe he was going to a private school where shona wasn't taught so now I realise I have to work more on the writing and reading I have also bought shona textbooks, and I am teaching him to read .
Thank you we speak Shona and they understand it very well, sis I can’t speak English the whole day when I’m home. Thank you for mentioning that English is taught in Zim someone didn’t understand it at all thought I’m bragging, but yeah will get there.
They are so adorable! Awwww I feel like a proud aunty🥺🙌🏾🇿🇼 They’re pro’s 🥺
Aww that’s so sweet. Thank you
Watching this for the second time 😍😍😍😍Much love for you and your family.Keep on teaching them
Thank you so much
I'm sooo in love with the little boy 😍😍😍they're both adorable can't stop smiling shem😊😍😊

It's Nashe Family I am learning slowly but surely
I'm in love with the small boy.. Awww shame.. They are so cute.. And mum is doing a good job..
aww thank you so much
Oh they are gorgeous. Love them both. I was just laughing at myself how l was rotting for them every step of the way to get the Shona words right
Aww sweet. Thank you so much 💕
Shona is a little bit similar to kirundi , like mvura is rain in kirundi
Oh really, where are you from? Is kirundi Swahili?❤️
'mvula' means rain in Zulu 🇿🇦
It's Nashe Family no kirundi is a Burundian language
Mvua is swahili.
Mbura is kikuyu Kenya
Mbua is rain for kamba kenya
Mvula is lingala congo
Ur small son is so funny i wish my son can speak my lengua. 👏👏👏👌👌👌
Aww thank you so much sis. Which other language do you speak?
@@ItsNasheFamily i speak yoruba,spanish, Catalán, but my son speak Catalán which is their language here,but he is trying to speak english nw is geting better. 😃😃😃
Aww he will learn so many languages aww
@@ItsNasheFamily yes
Wow. I just love your family. The boys are so adorable, beat ever. You are doing a great job
Thank you so much
This is beautiful 😍❣️❣️❣️❣️ you are a great mom and your kids are adorable ♥️💗💗 teaching them rurimi rwaamai is nice and they are clever hey .This is awesome
Thank you so much ndiri kuedza 💕
@@ItsNasheFamily you doing great job 👏💞💞💞
Your boys are so adorable and they are very smart, and thats beautiful they know the language from the motherland.
Thank you so much
Some African languages sound similar. I can understand some of the words coz they sound like Luganda in Uganda.
Yes sis(Bantu)❤️
@@ItsNasheFamily I was about to say the Bantu about the Bantu notion.
Africa has a group of tribes from what they call Bantu, who come from the East, Central and Southern Africa almost like family or relatives. That's why we can find commonalities in language and culture.
Sooo proud of you for teaching your kids rurimi rwavo rwamai!💕💕..beautiful kids!
Milly Badze Thank you so much, ndiri kuedza.
good job, mum, they will be two proud bilingual boys in the future. well done x
Thank you so much
HI,I'm from Zimbabwe and I have been learning and basicly Iwe can mean different things depending on how you pronounce it.It is confusing at first,You could teach them online classes because I used to do online classes but then I got the hang of it and then started talking Zim but I can't write In Zim so teach them the basics and the
