    Oh my goodness I am so glad I came across your channel !!!! I have been in desperate need of Yoruba tutorials as a first generation Nigerian American. What helps me most is being able to hear the pronunciation, hear the words in Yoruba and see how it is spelled as well. All of which you did so wonderfully! Thanks so much keep the videos coming.

    Thank you so much. I’m out here surprising my fiancé and his parents with their language and they keep asking who’s teaching me. I just say I have a great friend ❤️😂
