***NOTE: YB KIDS CLASS MEETS 12 NOON CST
If you are Yoruba parent, chances are your kids understand Yoruba but don't speak fluently. Or maybe you don't speak at home but you want them to be familiar with Yoruba Language and Culture. We can help!
Learning Yoruba language requires patience and time - but it is also a lot easier to stick with when you're having fun! We do our best to keep our classes enjoyable and inviting.
Yoruba Discoveries® classes are structured to allow learning new concepts in Yoruba, practicing tones and encouraging discussion. We also learn in a safe space with similar ages and speaking abilities! This allows the students to not feel pressure of anyone making fun of their "accent" and prevents them from becoming discouraged. They are supported by our staff who motivate students to keep trying. Our approach is laid back and fun for the students, delivering maximum enjoyment while learning. Also, because they are learning together and helping each other, they create social bonds.
