In Summary,
The student is expected at the end of training, and
within a 'practice makes perfect' period of five weeks

(or five months for the very slow but sure self - pace learner),
to be as fluent as the indigenous Luo speaking persons.
The student must be able to write or to interprete any Luo:
poetry, drama, folk art, film and music. The CD sounds of Luo
cultural foundations above for example, "is dedicated to the
elders and the clan leaders (Edongo) who have done very
good and great things for the people of Ethurr (Labwor).
It praises the cultural traditions, ways and cuisines
including courtship, leadership, conflict resolution, and
the spirit of pulling together in times of need and
celebration. It commends the system of oral tradition of
handing over knowledge as a way of preserving
the people's history and literature."
