I have exactly 6 months starting January to improve my yoruba speaking skills. This is a personal goal I have set for myself. I find it quite ridiculous that I am yet to speak yourba fluently having spent the bulk of my adult life in Lagos. Is there anyone here who has successfully self-studied the language? For those who are native to the tongue, what in your opinion would be the fastest way to improve speech proficiency?

Start eating Amala and ewedu.

I just want to share how I learnt Hausa and I believed it may help...

(1) I bought Hausa books and movies to listen to the phonics and the rest. I watched Hausa Nollywood movies.

(2) I tried to be in the gathering of Hausa people where I can practice what I learnt. I wrote it down according to the way they do speak it.

(3) I tried learning and saying at least one one word a day. I took this as a duty daily and I must speak Hausa daily to an Hausa person or friends. I learnt my Hausa here in Lagos... sai gobe...

tell people around u about your goal, especially those who can speak Yoruba to always communicate to you in it.
