Description

This is your essential guide to mastering the sounds, tones and mechanics of Yoruba.

When learning to speak a tonal language like Yoruba, you should first learn to hear and produce the nuanced sounds clearly. Some beginners rush into speaking, without first mastering sounds, and end up causing confusion and civil unrest.

This book is your essential first step, teaching you to decode letters with confidence and pronounce words and tones correctly.

The content is perfect for self-study students, teachers and parents. Ensuring you build the right foundation, so when you start learning ‘what to say’ (in Book 2), you’ll progress quickly and sound natural.

It lays the foundation for a successful language journey.
