Introducing the Nzukọ Igbo Study Group

Nope, well at least not directly. I do plan on sharing many of the things I learn about the Igbo language along the way, but the current main focus of the Nzukọ membership is not for me to teach you Igbo. It’s to support you to practice Igbo using the resources already available to you and meet the goals you set for yourself.

No, Nzukọ is not an Igbo class. It’s an accountability group for adult Igbo language learners that need support with reaching their Igbo language goals. I actually recommend that you join Nzukọ along with enrolling in an Igbo class or Igbo tutoring as it will help keep you accountable with studying and practicing Igbo in between your sessions. 

It’s best not to use the community to beg people to tell you what words mean. I would most likely ask you if you tried looking up the word first. If not, I would recommend some dictionaries that you could try to use if it’s a commonly used word. If you tried researching the word first and still can’t find it, then I suggest asking members in the group to see if anyone knows what the word means or I can try looking it up for you. You can also check the Nzukọ Igbo dictionary inside the membership which I update monthly with new Igbo words. 

I am mostly learning Central Igbo, so there is no guarantee that I can help you with your dialect. However, there MAY be other members in the group that speak your dialect that you could practice with. You can search through the member directory to find other members who are learning your dialect and connect with them.

Nzukọ is an online community for beginner adult Igbo language learners that want to learn and grow with other language learners. It includes built in accountability with assigned Igbo study partners. We also as a group plan our Igbo goals for the week and check in with each other once a week. There’s a private community forum for members to track their progress with their goals and practice their writing and speaking skills and get feedback from others. We will also have monthly Igbo language challenges. I also provide courses that help you with language learning in general such as how to create a study plan, how to work with a study buddy, how to record yourself speaking Igbo, top Igbo resources, and more. I also have an interactive dictionary which I update monthly with new Igbo words that you can filter by various categories.

You should join Nzukọ now because the best time to learn Igbo is NOW. No more putting it off! If you need the push to start, Nzukọ is perfect for you.

You should also join now because Nzukọ is currently in beta. The current price is the cheapest it will ever be. And as long as you stay a member, you will be locked in at this price. Prices will increase throughout 2020 as more members join and more content is added. So join now if you are serious about starting off your Igbo strong in 2020. 

Nzukọ is currently considered in beta because the December 2018 was the first time it opened. As a result, the content and community will be very minimal at first. This is why if you join now, you will get in at the lowest price possible. And as a founding member, you will help me direct the direction of the membership to meet your needs by providing feedback and suggestions on how I can improve the membership overtime. The value of Nzukọ will continue to grow (and thus the cost) as the membership gets better as new content is added and the community engagement increases.

Yes, if you are a monthly member, you can upgrade to the annual membership at any time. Same for annual members. You can downgrade to monthly membership at anytime. Just log in, go to your account page, and update your subscription information. However, please note, when you downgrade to monthly, your annual membership will be active until the day it was supposed to expire (meaning you will not get a refund for your annual purchase after downgrading unless you ask for a refund within 7 days of joining). 

You can easily cancel your membership by going to your account page and pressing cancel. When you cancel your membership, you will stop making your monthly or annual payments to me. Your account will remain active until the last date of your subscription. After your subscription expires, you will no longer have access to the membership content and community. If you want to rejoin, you are always welcome back anytime. 🙂

Note: Canceling your membership does not mean getting a refund. And if you cancel your membership and decide to come back, you may have to rejoin at a higher price if the prices have increased from when you originally joined. 

Yes. However, refunds are only guaranteed within 7 days of joining Nzukọ and you can only get a refund once. If within 7 days of joining Nzukọ, you are not happy with the membership, just send me an email and I will gladly refund you. It may take 2-4 weeks for refunds to show up in your account. 

No, I’m not fluent in Igbo..yet. But I’m learning more and more everyday and I’m constantly working to improve my Igbo skills. 

So how can I help you? I can provide guidance on how to start learning Igbo as an adult, find time to learn, track progress, gain confidence, and keep you accountable to practice consistently (because I have done these things for myself). Plus, I have insight on the struggles of learning Igbo as a second language that native Igbo speakers just don’t have. 

If you find any of these traits valuable and want more of my insight on how to learn Igbo as an adult, then definitely join Nzukọ!

I will do my best to provide support and feedback to you within the community forums. Also, one of the benefits of joining Nzukọ is that you can get help from other members as well. We are all in this together. 

Yes, Nzukọ is open anyone who is interested in learning the Igbo language and needs help with accountability. We already have members who are not Igbo. 

No, Nzukọ is for beginner and intermediate Igbo language learners. (Unless you don’t mind hanging with and helping out newbies 🙂 )
