Language is an integral part of culture and I want to help people feel confident in their connection to their Yoruba identity by helping them improve their spoken Yoruba. Do you currently feel self-conscious when speaking Yoruba to family and friends? Do you desperately want to improve your pronunciation? Are you in or intend to travel to Nigeria in the near future and want to arm yourself to speak to extended family and perhaps the sellers in the local market? And do you prefer learning with a teacher who is patient, encouraging and supportive? I am Mojisola, a 32-year-old Yoruba native from Lagos. I enjoy meeting new people, writing and watching movies.

Mojisola is always so patient and goes above and beyond to personalize the session. She is the best cultural guide and Yoruba teacher I could have asked for. Thank you so much for everything

The perfect teacher! I was a little worried about starting Yoruba lessons, but the teacher is so patient, clear, and helpful that I don't feel intimidated or nervous. She makes the lessons fun, and she goes over what I'm learning as much as I need. Thank you!

I was pleased with this lesson. I am trying the italki beta AI program. Results pending. We went into Yoruba in depth. This is more than I have done in the past. I was introduced to tenses and some grammatical nuances. I am hoping our lesson was preserved. The function of ‘ti’ was introduced. Meanwhile vocabulary is growing. I only wish that the accent marks could be used more. These are clearly not as important for native speakers who know pronunciation by context, but for an adult learner it is important to add the dimension of correct tone to words and this discipline should be learned early.. also I am realizing that I am missing some important words for communication from my previous lessons (ie connectors/ ati vs de) which are very important.
