Learn to speak Yoruba out loud
Most Yoruba courses stop at recognising words. In 4ToSpeak every Yoruba sentence ends with you saying it, so the skill you build is the one a real conversation asks for.

How it works
Four steps for every Yoruba sentence
One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Yoruba out loud.
Step 1
Order
See a Yoruba sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
Step 2
Translate
See the English and build the sentence in Yoruba, word by word.
Step 3
Listen
Hear the sentence spoken in Yoruba, then type what you understood.
Step 4
Speak
Say it out loud in Yoruba and see which words landed and which to try again.
Speaking Yoruba
Why speak Yoruba from day one
The sounds, rhythm and word order of Yoruba stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Yoruba speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.

Yoruba questions, answered
Can I learn Yoruba for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach Yoruba speaking?
Every Yoruba sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise Yoruba?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any Yoruba already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday Yoruba sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
What script does Yoruba use?
Yoruba is written in the Latin alphabet, so you can start reading it straight away. The speaking steps cover the sounds that differ from English.
