In a Nutshell
The Igbo people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa and one of the most widely dispersed ethnic groups throughout the world. Despite this, the bleak reality of the language becoming extinct would come to pass if it weren't for resources like this.

Introduction
UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) predicted that in the year 2025, the Igbo language would vanish!
As the child of Igbo immigrants in the United States, this bleak prediction was substantiated by the fact that I and my four siblings, and many other people we know, could not speak the Igbo language.
With the learner perspective in mind, I have sought to fight back against this prediction via an Igbo language learning podcast, app, and other technological endeavors that focus on actually learning to converse in the Igbo language.
