This is actually incredibly difficult to pull off, you need to use your throat, lips, and tongue at the same time.

Nothing is difficult unless you say it is and the same goes for ease…
For those who’ve mastered those there are more, “but wait there’s more”. 1. Sounds like the first clicks she did, but done whilst breathing out. There are also the breathed ones like. “ch” for “cha” = no. “Chitha” = to pour out. (Fascinatingly when one spends time with another it’s called “ukuchitha isikhathi” which directly translates to “to pour out time” - time is seen as being a literal fluid. 2. Sounds like the second click but done whilst breathing out. As in “xh” for xhamela (one of the clan names of the Xhosa) and as in “Xhosa” 3. “Qh” which is the breathed out version of “q”, which the last click she did. Examples are “qhina” to plait (hair). “Qhiya” = a Xhosa head wrap for women. “Qhoqhoqho” = Adam’s apple or throat. There are many more click sounds though: “gc” for gcwalisa (to fill up). “gx” for gxabhashe (one of the Zulu clan names). Gq for ... well I can’t seem to think of an example right now. There’s also nq nc and nx. And many many more. Sibanzi kakhulu IsiNtu nesiTwa. Kungangithatha isikhathi esidedi ngizengedele ukusichaza kabanzi!

Edit “gq” as in “gqashula” to tear a piece or to rip a piece off something.

Thank you friend for this information
the consistancy in which she does the clicks is impressive.
This makes learning the language a little intimidating but fun!
Learning isiZulu and love doing these clicks for family. The look on their faces 😆🤣
I got all 3 in 3 months. It's actually getting easier.
That was awesome. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
Excellent description, thank you. It will take me extremely long to manage but I'll keep this in mind
This language is so fun and interesting to learn! These tips are actually really helpful! Thank you!!
She's very talented.
Everyone in rural India use those Clicks for there pets .
Ooooo she got a strong tongue
Her teeth shine bright like a diamond.💎
great teacher
Awesome thank you made it so easy
Such an incredibly fascinating language.
I agree, Zulu is very close to Bushman language and most importantly both Zulus and Bushman look alike in terms of physical appearance.
We use some of these sounds to call animals; one of them is Q sound for calling donkeys in my country. You get animal to come to you or to give it an order to go or carry you.
Thank you for the great video.
I wanna learn to do this so badly but my lazy ass tongue won’t cooperate

SOME GUY NEARLY KILLED ME FOR DOING THAT
Haha, can't get enough of it
Oh my god I love it
Love you too much
And people talk how arabic and chinese were hard. This language might not be hard but still do you even imagine learning it. Sitting in front of desk clicking all the time......
Haha it’s actually kind of funny and cute though! 😄
Cool~~
I wanna know how to do that but I don't understand how to do the Q one
fascinating
This language can sermon wild animals from the bushes.

Wonder how the telephone game would play out with that language
Clicks are easy, at least for me, but following them with with vowels is very hard.
I wonder how does a baby pick these clicks up while learning this language as a mother tongue..!?

kids are incredibly good at distinguishing and mimicking speech sounds. Much better than adults. We largely lose our language acquisition skills when we reach puberty. By that point we have stunning speech literacy (almost as good as an adult) and our brain needs to focus on other things.

In the natural language development of children, by age one, infants have incorporated the sounds and patterns of his/her native language to the exclusion of all others. This is world wide. Speakers of Zulu languages and dialects, don't struggle to produce their language anymore than a Chinese, German or English speaker does (as an example).

Words are sounds, the clicks are the words of their languages.
1. i dont want to sound racist because im not, but its just marvelous to see that every language in whole world fits people's appearance and looks so much every time! like this one it just fits her! 2. this is so asmr. humanity's oldest or one of the oldest languages are actually asmr, these clicking noises and sounds compare them to these days asmr videos :) i think its in our nature that we like these clicking noises, its inside our ancestor genes. i got goose bumps while watching this video. 3. to click and talk like her so easily you must have a very strong tongue - it just looks easy (she made it to look easy) but its actually hard to talk like that. she just have a very strong tongue. well it is a muscle, so you can train it like all the body muscles you have.
I was wondering how she could get such loud knocking sounds etc., but I overall if one looks at the facial structure and tissues one can see how the resonance would be easier. Just looking at the jaws in and of themselves, interestingly it would seem it has to do with the dental arch the most. Asians have a rounded dental arch, Africans is hyperbolic and Europeans is parabolic.
