I am happy to share my native language and the beauty of the Yorùbá culture with my students. The course starts with elementary lessons like learning the Yorùbá alphabets, greetings and introduction and will end up with lessons like self-expression at different occasions or places: home, school, and even how to converse on the telephone etc. The class will be fun and highly participatory, students will learn how to begin basic conversation and responses in Yorùbá with the help of the teacher. ~Week 1: Introducing Yorùbá alphabets and tones ~Week 2: Introducing different forms of greetings in Yorùbá ~Week 3: Showing respect in Yorùbá, and thanking people ~Week 4: Naming tradition in Yorùbá and importance of name in the culture ~Week 5: Days of the week in Yorùbá ~Week 6: The use of honorific pronouns (Ẹ, Wọn, Yín) in greetings ~Week 7: Introducing Yorùbá numerals 1-100 ~Week 8: Introducing oneself and talking about oneself
