Greetings and clicks in isiXhosa

Say "Molo" to greet one person and "Molweni" for a group. "Unjani?" means how are you, and "Enkosi" is thank you. isiXhosa has three main clicks, written c, q and x — Luvuyo will happily coach you through each one until you get it.

How do you make the clicks in isiXhosa?+

"c" is a soft tsk made behind the front teeth, "q" is a pop from the roof of the mouth, and "x" is a side click, like urging on a horse.
