Learn Yoruba Online – Level 1

Description

A language so sweet, the people created a drum to mimic the undulating rhythms of the this south-western Nigerian language.

This melodic language is the most-well-known Nigerian language outside the country’s borders and is studied at University level by foreigners.

In terms of structure and tense, the language is easy to learn but its classification as a tonal language makes it slightly tricky for English speakers. While there are three basic tones, they can be combined to create rising and falling tones. This can be challenging as even the slightest deviation can completely alter the meaning of a word.
