What's The Easiest Way To Learn Yoruba? Please! by Godzlove8(m): 9:54am On Feb 27, 2018 |
Hello, please i really want to learn how to speak and understand yoruba. This very thing has been disturbing me alot after i went on a visit to kwara state and i was dumbfounded when i realised i couldn't relate or understand the people there cos all of them were speaking in either yoruba or hausa. I wanna know, is there any online website that renders tutorial on this? or what's the best way to learn.. I'm currently in uyo now and i got no yoruba friend here. 1 Like |

Godzlove8:Hausa, really? There are no Hausa indigenes in Kwara. You were probably mistaking Hausa for Nupe, the second most spoken language in Kwara after Yoruba. Anyways to answer your question, I'll say listening is the most important aspect of learning Yoruba. I currently don't know any good online source, but watching Yoruba movies in subtitles (movies with quality subtitles) may help, at least for a start. 2 Likes |

Godzlove8:Learning Yoruba is not difficult if your interest is geared toward it. I will advice you get acquainted through this following method; listen-write-speak-listen. I mean, find a Yoruba video link which can help you understand the necessary accent of Yoruba alphabets and its comparison with English's . Thereafter, formation of two letter words and its English meaning etc. However, if you intend to Skip the learning process, you might only be obliged to knowing salutation/greetings. Better still, find a Yoruba friend who appreciate your desire in learning his or her language. Naturally, learning will jell more with a female Yoruba person because of opposite sex chemistry. I hope you don't wanna learn Yoruba because of a Yoruba girl. Cheers Godzlove8:Learning Yoruba is not difficult if your interest is geared toward it.

Godzlove8: I see Yoruba folks quickly offering suggestions. Our natural inclination to offer kindness first without suspicion is usually our undoing. Make una see the OP post on Feb 19, 8 daysbefore this thread, which he dubbed: ‘My Regretful Journey To Illorin (kwara)’ Which can be found here: https://www.nairaland.com/4356641/regretful-journey-illorin-kwara Godzlove8: My response to you, it will do you well to get out of Yoruba land, including Ilorin & return to your paradisiacal Uyo where you can speak your language that burns the ears like corns popping in a popcorn machine. My Yoruba folks, 9jakool & Olu317 abeg, e ma je ka se mistake ti awon ara waju wa se by handing out Yoruba land & language to these strangers whose history started in 1960 who loath us but rely on coming to our lands first to have any economic or academic success. Yoruba e ronu. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Y0ruba:Thanks for the information. Although, you underestimated my personality because, I only responded openly to a ‘presumably', honest seeker ,who intended to explore,outside his natural enclave but I goofed. Naturally,I don't comment on every thread that is interesting but some I passionately pay attention toward. Anyway, I am a very ‘CONSERVATIVE YORUBA' as regard, your fears. In fact, I am a man with high concentration of Melancholy trait before other traits in my blood. And being able to identify one's personal behavioural pattern is the statutory rule of life before positive interaction with fellow mankind. Thanks Cheers |
