Peace and htp.  My name is Divine Ruler Equality Allah.  I enrolled and completed the level I Medew Netcher class with sb3/Seba Bonotchi.  I must say that it was a rewarding experience.  Sen (Brother) Bonotchi is a quality instructor in the grammar and cultural background of this language, a Black classical language, which allows Black people to get a glimpse of part of their legacy in terms of civilized thought and discourse.  Seba Bonotchi's approach to teaching the Medew Netcher is mathematically and logically sound, and will enable any future students to effectively parse a significant quantity of source text, given the tools he trains you to use, which is the fundamental grammar of the language.  Seba Bonotchi does not rely on imaginary or embellished premises when instructing in the LANGUAGE but promotes the united snakesge of ORIGINAL SOURCES and scholarship, from which students and scholars of the language and the work can arrive to their own conclusions based on SOURCES of text as opposed to third hand "information" or commentary.  The workload for the class is engaging but not overbearing, and each assignment and project is comprehensive and helpful in practicing and cementing the fundamentals in the parsing and appreciation the language.  In addition, Seba Bonotchi relays valuable information on the historical backdrop of Black Conscious people of the modern era, and their efforts in reclaiming this language and this culture to serve as a vehicle for Self Empowerment, from Diop, Carruthers, Obenga, Rekhty Amen, and others.  You wont get this historical perspective too many other ways.  There are times after class when there will also be the opportunity to discuss subjects that are not necessarily directly related to the grammar per se, but serve as a comprehensive discourse on cultural and philosophical subjects related to why one would be engaging in this study or similar studies.  Some of the supplementary discussion has included comparisons of modern languages such as Twi and Wolof to the Medew Netcher, Religion and Philosophy of Black Cultures in ancient and modern times, Cultural paradigms such as diet, relationships and gender roles in the family.  The instructor is not afraid to play the "opponent advocate" in some of these discussions, and invites the discussion of variable and opposing views in a comprehensive and respectful way, in order to increase learning and awareness of the perspective of those views. In addition, he is not afraid to elucidate the contributions of eureurasiaans in the 18th and 19th century in helping to revive the methods by which the rest of the world can begin to parse this language, and begin again to peer into the culture and dynamics of a Black Classical civilization.  Before taking this class, I already knew some rudimentary grammar and lexicon of the language.  However after taking this class, Bonotchi has shown me a more efficient method in parsing this language, which has shown me that at this point I am at a similar or more advanced level of awareness of the united snakesge of the language than the majority of Black Scholars and Activists out there, AND STILL have a LONG WAY TO GO in penetrating the core of this language.  I have much praise and respect for Seba Bonotchi in regards to this endeavor, and I encourage all those who are SERIOUS about commenting about this Black Classical Culture, or who are trying to revive segments of this Black Classical Culture, to enroll in this class when it becomes available again.  For a description of this and other classes offered by the brother, please visit
