Hey there, Lede Yoruba language lovers!

Buckle up, because this week, we're diving into tales that are as relatable as they are hilarious, all while picking up some awesome Yoruba language skills along the way. You won't believe the kind of adventures we have in store for you!


Learn with Stories and Issues - Unveiling the Wisdom of 'De fìla má wobẹ̀' - You Can't Please Everyone!

Have you ever heard the popular Yoruba saying "De fìla má wobẹ̀"? It's not just a string of words; it's a nugget of wisdom passed down through generations. This saying reminds us that no matter how hard we try, it's impossible to please everyone. This week, we're learning Yoruba through a story that perfectly captures the essence of this belief. Join us as we explore the tale that'll have you nodding in agreement and laughing at the universal truth it reveals. Get ready to sprinkle your conversations with some sage Yoruba advice!


Learn with Movies - From 'No Number' to 'Near Robbery': Unraveling the Art of 'Stalking' in Yoruba!

Have you ever wondered how the concept of "stalking" translates in Yoruba? Well, get ready to uncover the answer as we delve into a comical yet eye-opening video that demonstrates the thin line between caution and missed opportunities. We'll dissect the story of a lady who initially refuses a guy's advances but ends up willingly seeking his company in the face of danger. This entertaining narrative will teach us the Yoruba word for "stalking," while reminding us that life's twists and turns can be as unpredictable as language itself.


As usual, we will have the "Meet and Chat" sessions that have no agenda and allows you organically express your thoughts to each other.

This week's schedule is the same as always.
