Ẹ ǹlẹ́ o! Ṣálàáfíà ni?
Orúkọ mi ni Heather (Ìbírónkẹ́)

I have been taking Yorùbá lessons with YORÙBÁ LÈMI for the past two years, and it has been such a rewarding experience. As a non-native speaker, I began this journey knowing that learning Yorùbá would require patience, consistency and a willingness to truly immerse myself in the language. Looking back, I am amazed by how far I have come. What I especially appreciate is that the experience goes beyond vocabulary and grammar. Through our classes, I have gained a deeper understanding of Yorùbá history, culture, expressions and the beautiful intricacies of the language. The cultural context has made learning Yorùbá much more meaningful and has helped me understand not simply how to say something, but why it is said in a particular way.
My teacher is knowledgeable, patient and encouraging, and I have genuinely enjoyed the journey. I am very grateful for how far I have come and would highly recommend YORÙBÁ LÈMI to anyone interested in learning Yorùbá and gaining a richer appreciation of Yorùbá culture.

If you are looking for the greatest Yorùbá teacher you have certainly found her! I have been learning Yorùbá with YORÙBÁ LÈMI for over 2 years and I can truly say it is one of the best investments I have made in my education. I have evolved so much in my comprehension of Yoruba. I began knowing very little Yorùbá and today I am grateful & proud to say that I am able to be in a room of people speaking Yorùbá and I can understand much better than before and even participate in the conversation. YORÙBÁ LÈMI is patient, knowledgeable, intelligent, relatable, and understanding. I am more confident in my Yorùbá because of YORÙBÁ LÈMI. Thank you so much for being a fantastic teacher and believing in me. I highly recommend learning Yorùbá with YORÙBÁ LÈMI. You will gain increased knowledge from speaking and hearing Yorùbá as well as gain cultural & historical Yorùbá references.
