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!!
