Ba wo ni I am kenyan and really trying to learn yoruba...I just like the language
Lidiya Omari believe it or not there are people in Nigeria that are Kenyan that speak Yoruba as well as they do Swahili .
.
Mixed African American and all I know is my ancestors on my dads side were from Nigeria and Benin/Togo. I’m trying to get back to the roots that were stolen.
Greetings from India 🇮🇳..lovely day for me to learn ..wish to be in Nigeria soon.
God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏
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! Glad I could help!
I know you may have not been expecting this but Jesus loves you and he died for you only him can grant you eternal life and true peace and joy
The most important thing is that we truly know Jesus and not just going to church we truly need to accept Jesus as our lord and personal saviour by believing in him and following him wholeheartedly if you would like to accept Jesus as your lord and personal saviour, you can pray this prayer, ( remember it is not just a prayer that makes you christian but your faith) say: Jesus i accept you today as my lord and personal saviour, i believe you died and rose again and i surrender my life to you, use me for your glory and make me the person you want me to be in Jesus name i pray amen, remember this is the first step, we have to always get closer to God by prayer, study of the word of God , meeting with other Christians and evangelizing
Thank you for teaching me how to speak my families language 🇳🇬
Finally! I have a Yoruba teacher. Nice one!
Thank you so much. I look forward to the look on my parent's faces when they see me speaking fluently lol😜

Byron King wow that’s really great I study languages and my project is to write down 15 sentences and translate it to English and also into phonetic transcription but it’s cool just to go through comments I feel like I can go anywhere in the world from my bedroom 😂
Cool yoruba
I appreciate your teaching style. Having the spelling and the pronunciation is so very helpful!!! I appreciate you sounding out all the translations too! Thank you for taking time out to teach us. You are the bomb.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! It is very hard for me to find Yoruba lessons, and this has been the best online so far, thank you thank you and thank you, great job !
I'm so glad you find the videos helpful! Glad i could help! x
Honestly am going to become a Yoruba speaker anytime soon. I hv stayed in Yoruba land since 2008 and despite my interest to learn the Yoruba language I couldn't bcoz I was surrounded by English speakers from morning till night on daily basis. Now I think am liberated. Thanks beautiful lady for your effort. Am following you at every lesson. Let's continue....
Haaha yes... I'm challenging you oo... you need to become fluent as soon as possible. I will keep dropping videos! Thank you for your support x
Girl thank you so much. My fiancé is Nigerian and I said a few sayings from this video and he literally smiled and asked who taught me 🤣
Haha aww thats actually so cute!
Awww.... how cute 😘😘😘😘
This is now my second lesson with you and I am so grateful! My boyfriends family are super impressed and appreciative that I am learning Yoruba, THANK YOU! 🙏🏼 ❤️🙏🏼
I fall on this by chance and my dream to speak Yoruba becomes true!!!! ooohhh,è ché oun!!!!!! And you are such amazing in teaching that beautiful language. Living Yo-Won, Yoruba Wonder!!!! Love your ways!
Haha, thank you so much!
She’s both beautiful and smart. I love learning with her
Oruko mi actually IS Oreoluwa. lol. And the way you pronounced it so sweetly made me realize I never do my name justice whenever people ask me how it's pronounced. lol. I'm gonna adopt your way of saying it!
Awww loool, it's also my bestie's name, its so beautiful!
Ba wo No se man so... Is so.... important for me, have been asking my fiancee that for a year and could not get the English words to Yoruba words to say exactly what I meant. He is trying to teach me his language, a little difficult but you are making it easy!
I'm so glad I could help!! It can be often difficult to translate exactly from english!
Greetings from a Norwegian🇳🇴 trying to learn Yoruba, this is gonna be hard but i’m optimistic😂

Welcome!!! Haha you’ve got this, you’ll need the optimism.
And thank you so much! That’s so sweet

Great Video Blessing! I have subscribed. I lived in London but like many I could understand part of Yoruba but never speak it and family members would always ask why when it was obviously my parents fault. I'm not making excuses but language is acquired. This is a great foundation to start learning Yoruba. God Bless You!!

Mo Wa La Ti Cuba
Thanks for teaching. Here in Brazil we know yorubá by religions
I really appreciate having a beautiful teacher teaching me yoruba. But Bawo no se man so "she is tired" or "he is tired"? Would it be "obirin yen re mi" "okunrin yen re mi"
O ti re - yoruba is genderless, so the word for he/she is o
Please dear, I really like this teaching. Don't stop please 'cause I'm learning it.
I won’t!
@@DiamanteBox thank you dear

Diamante Box Bawo no se man so, what are you doing? Ni Yoruba
Diamante Box 😘😘😘😘👍💃🏻💃🏻
E karo bawo ni
Diamante Box does intonation matter in Yoruba, in as far as changing the meaning of a word?
@@billyelliot78 yes it doe
Am so much in love with your teaching. Learning will be all from your blog. what i enjoy most is the break down in pronunciation. please keep it up. Thank you and more of you ( please teach me how to say this in yoruba: Thank you and more of you )
Thank you so much!!
Thank you - Ese/Ose (Older person/Younger person)
More of you - Mo tun fe ri e si (MOW-TOO-FAIR-RE-AIR-SEE)
Please Let's them know the Differences between É And O because it's So Rude to Ask An Elderly Person '"kiloruko é"' Instead it '"kiloruko Yin"'
Yes! I do mention the difference between E and O in my first video but will continue to stress it. thank you
Diamante Box yes please do on in a bit more detail I didn’t quite understand it in the first video. Also I downloaded the speak Yoruba app and found a lot of the translations were different as well on google .. do you know why that is?
@@Diy_doingitmyself the once on Google and the app could be as a result of different Yoruba dialect speakers. The Oyo yoruba are generally the real Yoruba...we have the egba speaking Yorubas, Ijebu, Ondo, Ekiti and so on...infact, it's not impossible for a Lagos Yoruba speaker to find it difficult to fully understand an Ondo or Ekiti man...but luckily, we have the general Yoruba tongue that all Yoruba people can speak and relate with and that is what she is teaching....the musically sounding and sexy one.
Loving my Nigerian language
Talk slowly I didnt hear what you said I GET 25 MARKS DDDD "I finally found time to rewatch this XD"
Hahaha well done
@@DiamanteBox but I thought ki lo RU ko e is what's your name?
He didn't mention that.
No full mark for you
No way
Great. I am just starting and I am enjoying it already.
Wonderful!
I love what you're doing, but I think you're giving us too much @ 1 time. I'm happy that you're doing this 100%.
Im hanging in there.... Not giving up,slowly but surely im getting it
Bless you
Yes!! You'll definitely pick it up with practice! i promise
