fun and easy way to learn Yoruba

Before I never heard about the Yoruba language, but I enjoyed learning since I'm into learning new languages. I always wanted to visit Africa and I have more reason to go soon. It was nice this book introduced the culture and Yoruba language. It was also good to hear their English words and then Yoruba words. I think it is great to listen to this book while you drive and also before you sleep. Some of the words I've learned are stuck in my head. It is really effective!

very informative

This is, in my experience as a linguist, the most helpful audiobook for learning Yoruba. It is helpful in enforcing the precise pronunciation of the Yoruba language spoken by native speakers, which enables the listener to blend in as if they were a native and to be readily understood.
via listening to it, I have been able to turn a short-term retention of Yoruba vocabulary terms into a long-term recall with English or Yoruba prompts. This was accomplished via systematic repetition.
This is an essential audiobook to have.

Fascinating and fun!

I absolutely LOVE languages. I grew up in a very diverse area (there were 80 different cultures represented in my grade school) and have lived traveling through many continents for most of my adult life. I am fascinated by both the similarities and differences between neighboring languages, dialects, how they were influenced by other colonial languages, etc.
When I learn languages I appreciate learning them from natives and as children learn. Learning about a language (how it works, etc) is also helpful and complimentary. This audiobook does a great job and is a lot of fun. I'm also glad I have it to revisit over and over again because you have to repeat repeat and repeat to make things stick. I'm excited to throw some Yoruba at my Nigerian friend and watch their face!

Stellar Yoruba Language Guide
