Hello, language learners and world explorers of Lede Yoruba!
We're back with another week of language and cultural immersion. This week, we're diving into the Israel-Gaza conflict to learn Yoruba while discussing our opinions on the matter. Additionally, we'll master the art of asking after someone and describing individuals in a movie scenario. Let's get started!
Learn with Stories and Issues - In the Midst of Conflict: Learning Yoruba through the Israel-Gaza War
In this session, we'll delve into the Israel-Gaza conflict, a trending issue. We'll learn Yoruba while discussing our opinions on this global matter. This exercise will not only enhance our language skills but also provide a platform for sharing thoughts and perspectives on world affairs in Yoruba. It's an opportunity to connect language with current events and express our views in a meaningful way.
Learn with Movies - Lost and Found: A Yoruba Lesson in Searching and Describing
In this movie scenario, we'll follow two friends as they walk into a hotel in search of a man they met once. The catch is, they only have a description and a nickname to go on. We'll learn how to ask after someone and practice describing individuals in Yoruba. This exercise will equip us with essential vocabulary for inquiries and descriptions while enjoying a suspenseful story.
