Almost a million views later, and taking on your feedback from that first ever video, I've created and updated and detailed first episode to address the questions you had in the first video!

Thank you.
I always dreamed of going to Nigeria.
Im at a point now where I seriously need to learn how to speak Yoruba. I'm a young Yoruba man in my mid 20s and I've never been to Nigeria once unfortunately but both of my parents are from there as I was born in North America. When it comes to choosing a Yoruba wife, i feel it'll look bad if I can't speak or at least understand Yoruba and my mom has been on my case about learning it lool but I see the seriousness behind it now. I hope through your videos and other resources you offer, I can learn Yoruba so I can relate with people who are also Yoruba where I live and when I do eventually visit Nigeria.
You are at the right place
i completely understand because my mum never taught me yoruba when i was young cause i live in the uk. I used to speak it really well up until the age of 4 but then I started going to school and learning english so my mum never bothered to teach me how to speak it again
That’s the story of all of us, the next generation let us down. They chose not to teach us out language under a false pretence of not wanting to ruin our English. Learn the verbs and you can’t start sentences.
E.g
Mon lo shop
Im going shop
@ellz_bellz that's pretty much what happened to me also
I relate but my parents were born over here in America and I grew up speaking English and learning a little Spanish. Blessing has helped me and my children to learn the Yoruba language and I've been practicing with some of my Yoruba family here in NYC. Making flash cards with index cards while watching these videos has helped me and my children a lot. We also tape some of the flash cards onto the walls to remember certain words. Now some of us "Akatas" are learning our languages thanks to the internet...lol I wish you the best on your journey.
My boyfriend is Yoruba I’m African American so I’m trying to learn for his family so I can speak to his mother and aunties! He doesn’t know much either so your videos are sooooo helpful! I was having trouble finding good resources
Na wa o! So he is Yoruba but cannot speak it?
@@aeiou0123 it’s not shameful. Or his fault. he grew up in New York most his life and lived in Nigeria during high school then back to America plus none of his relatives taught him they wanted him to know more English but now bully him for not fully knowing it.
@@Lolives24 ok o.
I still like the first one you did because I learned a lot as a new learner. Thanks for this updated version as well. I must learn my native language that I would be fluent in if I wasn't born abroad. ❤
Great teacher!!! Wunderschön Lehrerin!!
This is great , I'm ready to go to Yorubaland!
Me too
Been with Auntie Blessing since Covid
A real one!!
Thanks a lot, My friend is Yoruba and I've been wanting to learn the Yoruba language to kind of surprise them and this has been a lot even if I'm late, thanks so much!
A pleasure!
Thanks! Love your videos
❤ thanks your always appreciated!
Thank you my sister for these lessons. I'm connecting with alot of Yoruba brethren and it feels good to at least greet them in our tribal language even though I'm far from fluent. Also what helps me tremendously is listening to Yoruba worship artists like Tope Alabi ❤
I just found your beginner lessons. I'm so grateful for your help. Oko mi is still in Nigeria and struggles with English speaking at times so is struggling to teach me his language and I want to be able to talk with him and family.
Not from Yoruba, but I so much love the language. I just came across your teachings and I'm finding much ease learning the language.
....."Not from Yoruba"???? You mean your not from Nigeria... Yoruba isnt a country or a state or a city
@@heartszforGodhe means he is not Yoruba. From his name, he us Igbo
@@aeiou0123 Ok...
I'm very excited to be learning now. I am to immerse myself into the culture and language for the love of the people and land. I must travel☺️
thank you beautiful, for helping us connect with our roots ♥️ looking forward to working through your series
❤❤❤
Blessing, you are doing well for us out side Nigeria
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this ❤
Thanks love.. South Africa here❤❤
Welcome! ❤❤
SO glad I found you. You are the MOST comprehensive...the Best
Yoruba instructor on UA-cam.
I could hold an Opening conversation now with just one lesson.
Yes...definitely the best.
When is the next scheduled lesson?

❤
This looks great. Please we need more verbs lessons. Thanks
More to come!
Great lesson sister. Providing the lessons using a conversation format is the perfect way to teach Yoruba. That way people can learn the language more naturally and even practicing shadowing to sound more like a native speaker. E se o!!! 👊🏾
Check out my latest videos. A lot of conversational content in them
@@DiamanteBox Will do! You’re the best queen 👑
Yes, lve been waiting ‼️ we are learning yoruba together
Very good!
Nice to meet you again i'm your follower since you begin

Ese gan!
Im learning this for my dad so when im in his home he can speak his own native language to his own children lol its like a lil suprise for him❤
That's sweet!
I was told by someone special Yourba language was difficult to learn. So I'm going to try to learn his native tongue here.
I love hearing different Languages.I am getting to know someone from Nigeria and he speaks Yoruba I am learning it but baby steps.I am from UK and I am not bothered where anyone is from
Thanks
Loveee the video. As someone who knows the Yoruba words and understands the language but cannot articulate my sentences at all. This has been a great lesson. I'm definitely calling my grandmother tonight!!
But one suggestion, it would be great if at the end of the video, you could have like a conversation with yourself using everything we learnt in the video. Thanks so much for your dedication,all these years ❤️
I'm glad you liked it! Definitely, conversations are great. You can check out the conversational v videos with my friends as well to see some sentences used.

Good job. E nle which actually is E pele is actually not acceptable to several Yoruba people. It is a greeting of Oppressor to the oppressed or unfortunate. It is a precarious phrase that must not be uttered to an inlaw. I've always watched you from the original episode 1 and i enjoy your input into the Yoruba world. Best wishes
I was just literally thinking about not knowing the responses. LoL. Thank you! 2:27

😂😂
Can you translate Mohbad- Backside please??? Thanks to u i can sing KPK properly i can say the words thanks to u so help me out with bakside please 😅.... Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Haha, sure i will do
Thank you for the written out pronunciations too! Those help so much 😭
Todot how do you say that
Am here to learn Yoruba just incase God blesses me with a Yoruba husband 😂.. love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Haha, I hope he does!!
How would you say “Nice to meet you“ or “ Nice meeting you”?
Inu mi dun lati pade e
say it this way ''He noo me doon la tea par day e (sound of the letter 'e' in the word 'Egg') ''
What about Odaro
Yes good night!
Is this general Yoruba like the Lagos language
yes its standard yoruba with oyo roots
Ekaale is not good night. Good night in Yoruba is odaro.
You’re missing the context and being pedantic. Ekaale is the equivalent of good morning good evening good afternoon. It is a form of hello. It id at night hence good night.
Odaro is good night as a farewell. Completely different things.
