“My generation was raised in the US, and our parents did not teach us Yoruba. I bought this for my cousin’s daughter, and everyone loved it. Thank you for helping us reclaim our language and pass it on to the next generation!”

Questions parents ask
What age is it for?
There’s no age limit. You can start with newborns, introducing the language through the very first words they hear. As they grow, the books grow with them: soon they’re reading the words on their own, writing them and pronouncing them.
I don’t speak Yoruba. Can I still use these?
Yes. Every set comes with audio pronunciations, so anyone can learn.
What other languages do you have?
45 and counting, from Afrikaans to Zulu. See all our languages
