[@efemzyekun900]

Now I know why this language is so musical. African languages are the juice and honey in Communications, but I resonate with the Yoruba tongue, the source of Afrobeat...that's why the language is so sexy and lyrical.

[@Femi-]

EfemzyEkun yeahhh

[@ykaa79]

It is because Yoruba is a tonal language

[@agwazia]

The 7 people that disliked this video. Are just sad 🚮

Honestly, I actually thank you enough. I've been tryna speak in yoruba for years now and within an hour of watching your vids I feel so much more confident in speaking my mother tongue. Looool just let me finish this series. My aunties cannot come and do shakara for me now oo

[@DiamanteBox]

[@ifeyinwaokolo1246]

[@chyfran-EFM]

My sweet wife will be very happy, when I inform her, how stumbled on your Yoruba speaking channel, I teach her the little I learn from the streets, work and church, I thank the holy spirit for making me fast in learning complex things.

[@whytemanvictor]

"Immigration's coming". That was so funny.

[@abimbolapayne2822]

This helps my granddaughter alot. She loves this channel. Keep making more💕💕

[@mannyadewale8732]

Awa jeun lowo! Ese gan, Blessing! I'm a child of Nigerian immigrants, and for the longest time, while I can understand chunks and pieces of Yoruba from my parents speaking it around the house as I grew up (and lots of Nigerian movies), there's still a lot I don't know, and I don't feel very confident in speaking it. These lessons are helping me more than you know. Much love

[@DiamanteBox]

I’m so glad!!! You’ll get it!

[@Searchforuhuru]

Thumbs up

[@yubee458]

I'm at Oyo, serving my fatherland. This is really helping. Ese pupo. Mo appreciate gan..

[@e.davidjohn9742]

Blessing thank you. You are the answer to my prayers. I'm in Lagos now for two weeks from PH. My plan is to be fluent in Yoruba within 90days. That will be great for my business. I'm happy I stumbled upon your channel. I love you. You are doing great for me already.

[@DiamanteBox]

Thank you! So glad i could help! I'll keep putting out the videos!!

[@sikaabbey8307]

Omg thanks. I love your Channel. I am half Fon/Ewe (Fon language is like old Yoruba mix with Ewe)... I don't even speak Yoruba. This is very informative,

[@DiamanteBox]

Thank you!! I'm glad I could help!

[@afrobeatlyrica]

We are all sare 😂😂. That got me

[@jesstoselli]

First of all, thank you so much for these videos, they're a wonderfull introduction for somebody with no knowledge whatsoever of Yoruba. Second, you're very pretty.

[@DiamanteBox]

I'm so glad the videos are helpful!! Ko tope! And I will definitely try and incorporate some more culture into my videos! Thank you

[@efemzyekun900]

Wow! #Jessyca, and here I am, super surprised that a non black Brazilian is practicing Yoruba culture? I thought it was only the darker descendants of slaves that found the need to do so. Hope you find the faith satisfying? I'm really surprised 😮😁🇳🇬

[@lambornicki]

EfemzyEkun it’s not true there are a lot of white people even in the traditional Yoruba spirituality because the divinities is everything they are universal forces !

[@jesstoselli]

@@davidthespeedster2225 I'm sorry, I think you didn't understand what I meant. I said that I have not knowledge whatsoever of it.

[@DiamanteBox]

Glad I could help!

[@newafrica9238]

Very engaging Yoruba teacher. Thank you for preserving the language. One note, please use apostrophe ( ' ) when you write a word that is a contraction so that people don't confuse it with another word. Yoruba is a tonal language, so the way you pronounce or write a word can change it's meaning. Wan fe lo = they want to go Wan felo = they searched for him Correct English contraction: isn't = is not Correct Yoruba contraction: s'oun lo = se oun lo = are you going? Incorrect Yoruba contraction: akin to mean "awa o kiin" = we do not When written as akin, this sounds like another word or name, Akin. Adding apostrophe ( ' ) to show missing letters would make it clear for reading. Yoruba uses contractions a lot. A word could be pronounced like another word but the two are not to be written the same way. They only sound alike because one was pronounced in a shortened way. A word can also look like another word if it is not written correctly. This can make it confusing when reading in Yoruba. This is why it is also important to use Yoruba intonation marks on words. It is easier to read and understand Yoruba when it is written correctly. *Sorry for the long comment and missing Yoruba alphabet marks. 😉

[@damicaedwards346]

Do you also teach the language? Well the written?
