Learn Yoruba with Lingawa: A Celebration of Language and Culture

Welcome to Lingawa, where every Yoruba lesson is a step closer to your roots.  

Discover the Richness of Yoruba Culture

Yoruba culture is a unique blend of art, music, history, and traditions. As one of Africa’s oldest languages, spoken by over 40 million people worldwide, Yoruba offers a unique window into the diverse practices of its speakers—from the colorful festival of Ojude Oba to the sacred rhythms of bàtá drums.  

Speak Yoruba - Live Yoruba

Learning Yoruba isn’t just about acquiring language skills; it’s about embracing a vibrant culture that spans continents and centuries. Whether you’re connecting with your heritage or discovering a new cultural landscape, our courses are designed to immerse you fully in the Yoruba experience.
