      If you want to learn simi's language particularly. Then it is called YORUBA. There are tons of video on you tube you can learn basic words and their meanings.
      However, Nigeria is a country of about 250 languages, if Nigerian languages is your interest.
      Learning a new language is always welcome, am starting Swahili lessons soon
