diaspora born: should I learn shona vs Ndebele
I am American born with have two Zimbabwean parents but they did not teach me vernacular because life and stigma. I want to learn one of the two but I cannot decide which one. My family is shona but they grew up in Matabeleland so they are fluent in Ndebele. They speak shona but it is not as fluent. They are not going to help me because I asked so I am going to hire a tutor. Why I am deciding is because I usually only go to Hwange, Vic falls, and Bulawayo when I visit Zimbabwe so I am not sure. I do think Ndebele would be easier to learn because I did learn the basic structure as a child when I was living in Zimbabwe and also I would be able to understand some Zulu? However, more people by the numbers speak shona and a lot of the internet jokes are in shona, Thoughts?
