cant help you with that but you can send me a list of words i'll translate and put them in sentences for you.
in the meantime just add an "i" infront of every english noun, e.g. iTaxi, iBus, iStove

You got a tutor already.

@ Witness
The books and cd's teach you words and phrases that people 20years older than me wouldnt use. They dont teach everyday language Xhosa. Instead of "imoto" for a car they say "inqwelo mafutha", its like saying motorvehicle, you dont use that word in everyday language. They might just be only good for you to understand a Xhosa news enchor.
but they will help you with sentence contruction and other basic xhosa language rules.

figured as much.
kinda feel i'm doing a state of the nation address when i'm attempting the phrases..
i kinda guessed this thread would be semi-derailed by those nasty
xhosa swearwords that they tell you "no , no man - he is calling you a towel-raling"
or
"no man - ifuni wewe (that song, you know the one) means the person wants some cheese" ....
man ...the expressions give it away ;D ;D
-
"no man - ifuni wewe (that song, you know the one) means the person wants some cheese" ....
