We'll learn Yoruba vocabulary as we visit the newly opened museum dedicated to the Kuti family, exploring the exhibits and delving into the story of the last car she drove before her passing.

Learn with Movies - Love, Loans, and Language: Expanding Your Yoruba Vocabulary in a Romantic Tale

In our movie feature, a man attempts to secure a significant loan for the woman he loves from his friend. As he negotiates terms, discusses repayment plans, and sets a date for repayment, we'll widen our Yoruba vocabulary in the realm of business loans, financial commitments, and the intricacies of romantic ventures. This scene will provide valuable insights into the language used in business transactions and promises.
