Classes at Nyaka are given in English. However, in the village and in many conversations, the native dialect is Luchiga. We have picked up a few words so far and will keep trying to learn (to the amusement of many).
Below is a quick dictionary of our limited vocab (spelling probably wildly incorrect).
Agandi: Hello/How are you
Nigye: I am fine
Webale: Thank you
Twogende: Let’s go!
Oh-see-bee-yehjay: Good Afternoon
Kale: Ok/Goodbye
Ente: Cow
Embuzzi: Goats
Empoco: Chicken
Posho: little white maize cakes
Kale!
