Learn Basic Yoruba
The Yoruba Language is a Niger–Congo language spoken in West Africa. The native tongue of the Yoruba people is spoken, among other languages, in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo and in communities in other parts of Africa, Europe and the Americas. A variety of the language, Lucumi, is the liturgical language of the Santeria religion of the Caribbean. It is most closely related to the Owo and Itsekiri language (spoken in the Niger-Delta) and Igala spoken in central Nigeria.
The number of speakers of Yoruba was estimated at around 20 million in the 1990s.

I'm learning. Wish u told me the correct way to say and pronounce .
Good app but with out the tonal marks , you wont be able to pronounce it very well.
Good app could be better needs more variety. Even more it needs audio to make sure we pronounce words right.
Stuck on downloading new words please wait screen
With sound would have been better. To know how to pronounce the words.
it would be better if it had pronunciation abilities. those as i, who are book wormz-it's doable.

How can I learn it if I can't hear it?
How do you learn if you are not told how to say the word? Put sound to it and it will become more useful.
Needs to have Yoruba speakers demonstrate the words. Intro Yoruba has to have tone marks and diacritical marks. This app may provide helpful reminders for someone learning the language somewhere else. The best app for learning Yoruba is to get a copy of the Foreign Service Language Course. Load all the exercises into your music player, and you can practice pronouciation drills all day.
