Ese o! Learning to write is a bonus, but more than anything I need practice with speaking. I'm good at giving instruction to my toddler, but having a full conversation with an adult is a little harder.

I'm a native speaker... Inu mi maa dun lati ran e lowo.

@MizzOla, Any opportunity to practice is all the help I need! If you're serious about getting better at our language, then let's do it! I need to get over the 'fear of making mistakes' barrier. Also I need to increase my vocabulary. So let's work together and see what we can make happen. :)

I wish I could help you but I know much less than you. I can understand and read Yoruba but it's hard for me to produce it. I always have to pause and translate from English to Yoruba in my head even though it should come fast. I think you are in a better position to help me though.
