my action NGIASIN AINEI

Language connects us. In this video we continue to reconnect with MAA roots by learning to speak Maa language. (Enkisuma e nkutuk e Maa)
We are learning how to say in Maa the basic acts a person takes: speaking, coming, going, eating, sleeping, dressing.
This is the 5th video in our Enkisuma e nkutuk e Maa series.
Check out the previous videos.
My son is joined in this video by his friends and niece.
