Learn Yoruba in 1 day | Class 101 | the accents of the Yoruba language |

[@doyi3]

There’s no way I’m learning Spanish before my native language 🇳🇬🇳🇬

[@hugoolivares456]

You can learn both. In fact there’s a lot of use of Yoruba in Cuba.

[@PrissyP__]

Ayyye my friend I agree. 😂 I love my Spanish been practicing for years but it’s something about African culture, I’m American.

[@ina-ina5905]

As a half Nigerian girl, my father never really taught me how to speak Yoruba and I've always wanted to connect with my roots this really helped

[@denisphoenix7849]

Hi from Brazil!!! I'm from Salvador, which is the city that has the largest Black population outside África. We speak Portuguese only, but some African-Brazilian religions here use very basic Yoruba language in their rituals and also to name their temples.

I am trying to learn Yoruba as an Indian because I have a Yoruba king in my life

[@madebysammy2000]

Congrats your life will be long and your children will be greater than their father iJn.

I found out last week that I am a Yoruba & Fulani descendant. I’m most interested in learning about my Yoruba culture and language. I’m so proud to apart of such a beautiful tribe.

I’m From Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Married To Nigeria 🇳🇬Husband I Need To Learn Yoruba ASAP 😂

[@KhuaCODM]

I wanna learn Spanish, but home first 🇳🇬

[@LearnYorubaInOneDay]

I am learning Spanish myself

[@femimoji5918]

It’s not so much the accentuation, it’s more of a tone/intonation thing. A lot of Americans are very ‘sing-songy’ naturally as my dad loves to point out. He said we speak like we have a question to ask or we’re not sure, which is very conflicting with a language with such strong tones. Putting the inflection on the wrong syllable can make it mean something completely different which is something you really don’t worry about in English. That’s the disconnect I find. Very helpful from a diaspora girlie 🥹💚

[@wordsbymaribeja1470]

That questioning tone is not so much 'American' as much as it is something from pop culture, that has permeated how Americans of younger generations speak. It is also quite prolific in English speaking Canada. What I mean to say is that it is not natural to American English.

[@chiomao8734]

This was so helpful. I have been told I often speak Yoruba like an oyibo and also an Igbo person 🤦🏽‍♀️. Looking forward to more Ede Yoruba videos 🙏🏽

[@trami3323]

im only 13 living in the us, arizona,i got a dominican accent, now i want more... nobody speaks yoruba, only english and spainish.. i just felt learning more languages is better for my dream of wanting to be a commercial pilot, and it would feel good speak a language that my whole school wouldnt understand.

[@theEchannel_official]

Unless your family is not Yoruba or you don't have much connection I don't think you'll like to spend so much time to use a language everyone in your school wouldn't know. Like my family is Nigerian but speak Yoruba so I wouldn't bother learning igbo 😂 but I guess to each his own. I support you 💪🏾 👍

And, it's very simple

[@JayJayGrady4U]

Never knew Yoruba was a tonal language... Interesting

[@linkin5961]

Most African languages are. If you want to learn an African language that is not. Swahili is always recommended. Because it's an African language that is not tonal and you pretty much say the words as spelled.

[@windsurfer8824]

@@linkin5961 most african languages aren't tonal, Swahili isn't tonal like most other Bantu languages, tonal languages are more common in West Africa, though the Mande languages in West Africa aren't tonal.

[@linkin5961]

@@windsurfer8824 East Asia and Africa has the highest of tonal languages to non tonal. According to one source. Tonal languages are found throughout the world but are predominantly used in Africa. According to another source. There are various sources that state Africa vast usage of tonal African languages. There are some that aren’t which is why I recommended Swahili. West Africa- Yoruba,Igbo,Hausa, Mandika North Africa-Arabic North and Central-Berber East Africa-Amharic,Somali,Oromo South Africa- zulu, khoi (any language falling in the bantu family) Those are just a few but examples of tonal African languages I can recall. But, you are also correct West Africa has a large amount of tonal languages. Khoi-san and all bantu languages with the exclusion of swahili are all fully tonal-This is Central africa, south africa and parts of east africa The large majority of niger congo-West Africa languages are tonal Nilo Saharan languages are fully tonal -This is central, parts of north and some of east africa Most Afroasiatic languages are tonal- This is North Africa, parts of west and parts of East Africa.

[@linkin5961]

@@windsurfer8824 I am rushing and using my phone so sorry if the typing isn’t the best. I just like helping others. Because there are languages of Africa I would like to learn and my personal opinion was to start with a non tonal languages. There are others like Fula and Wolof of West Africa that are non tonal but again the majority of African languages are tonal.

[@storytime8527]

This language or Key Swahili should be in every HBCU and an option for grade school children in the US…period.

[@randompost4180]

The black community has to want to reclaim that identity and take it seriously hope this year and the upcoming ones brings some changes to mid and we can figure out what language the majority of of us will chose instead of just English or Spanish

Hi, Thank you for watching. For a more structured video sequence or lessons please send an email to [e-mail]

[@lineseeking]

Is it really by flat pitch? (Shouldn't it be ascending/descending tone?) I think the tone may be closer to how they use it in Cantonese but I'm also getting this advice on other videos.
