I really enjoyed interviewing Yara (Yamkela), a wonderful isiXhosa teacher I met via iTalki, who made the amazing isiXhosa through Music resource for LTM.
In this chat, we learn more of her own musical journey and influences. Yara shares her earliest music memories, the significance of overtone singing in isiXhosa culture.
We discuss the language education system in South Africa, Yara's path to becoming a teacher, and her love for horticulture.
The conversation also touches on future language learning goals and the therapeutic aspects of music and language.
Enkosi, Yamkela!
