Elisha O. Ogbonna hails from Enugu in Igbo land, and Igbo language is his first language. Elisha started reading Igbo book and the Bible at the age of nine to help his late parents who lacked the skill to read and write the Igbo language. He started teaching and translating English words and sentences into the Igbo language by the time he entered high school (secondary school). His performance was excellent in the West Africa examination during high school. He had done translation and interpretation, both in traditional and religious settings. He once taught the Igbo language in adult class, when he was a teacher. He is happy to help anyone interested in learning Igbo language and has set up a platform for such a project. His next upcoming book will be for advanced learners.
