Not much progress learning the letters without learning the proper pronunciations.

EXcept if u plan to compose a love letter in yoruba for the guy with what You've learnt so far Grin


e.g   Ore mi toto(r),

            Ekaro. Ekasan. Eku irole. Undecided

            Mo ni ife re toto(r).

                        Odabo Ore mi.

                        azn_shorty

                                       Grin


*Find someone who could record these the pronunciations as a WAV file and email to u.
HINT: Yoruba is in a way like French. Its got a lot of "tone". You can't just pronounce the words anyhow

All the best Amigo
