Book Reviews of Colloquial Yoruba (Colloquial Series)

Book Review: a very well done introduction
Summary: 5 Stars

It was a very pleasant surprise to discover this really thorough and well-prepared introduction to Yoruba. The author has addressed all of the difficulties of learning the language that English speakers are likely to encounter- the tones and many elisions in the everyday spoken language are a particular sticking point for most learners- and an excellently crafted pair of CDs provides invaluable listening practice. The dialogues and comprehension exercises that accompany every chapter are not only lively and interesting, but also provide an unsparingly honest view of life in Yoruba land, contemporary Nigeria, and of the lives of Nigerians living in America. All in all a great value.
