Let's sing Uchinaaguchi!
Lesson 1
Chuu uganabira is the way that we say "Hello" in Uchinaaguchi
Chuu uganabira is the way that we say "Hello" in Uchinaaguchi
Before you eat your food, say "Kwatchii sabira"
When you're done it's "Kwatchii sabitan"
And please say "please", "unigee sabira"
And "thank you", "nifee deebiru".
