Could Beatbox Girl Learn to Speak !Kung?

This woman is ridiculously awesome: she beatboxes for the camera. I have never seen anyone better than her. Which of course, makes me wonder if she might be the one Westerner who is able to learn to speak the !Kung language, ǃʼOǃKung, fluently?


Any linguists out there who might know if she has been contacted about learning to speak the !Kung language?

Postscript to this vid: Julia Dales *did* win the 2009 Beatbox Battle Wildcard slot. Though she didn't take top prize in the final competition :(

There's an article on her from last year in the Ottowa Citizen: http://www2.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/artslife/story.html?id=ed607088-3130-47fc-98dc-8716d0a78117&p=1

No word on her !Kung skillz though...
