So here are the words I learned. Since I learned them through hearing and speaking, I'm using sound files to say the words for you. I've included a pronunciation guide for those of you who are sound file challenged.
English Meaning | Pronunciation | |

Rabbit | Ipo |
Ok, I admit rabbit is a strange one to know. I learned that when a rabbit ran through the school compound. One of the teachers taught me the word for rabbit.
