This morning, in collaboration with OrishaImage.com, we are glad to announce the release of a multilingual audio course, in English-Yorùbá, Spanish-Yorùbá, and Portuguese-Yorùbá. This is a project that has been a few months in the making, created for the benefit of speakers of each of these European languages interested in learning Yorùbá. Each audio is about 90 minutes mp3 of useful phrases in 22 chapters for Olórìshà and cultural tourists!

It is free but licensed under Creative Commons. This means that you are free to share the files with your friends and family or even on your own website, as long as you provide a link to orishaimage.com and yorubaname.com and follow the license rules: CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0.

The audios can be downloaded to devices or streamed online directly.

The 22 chapters of this course are: Introduction/ Greetings/ Politeness/ Presenting Oneself/ Accommodation/ Compliments/ Question Words/ Appointments/ Time/ Climate/ On The Way/ Culture/ Orisha/ Market/ Relations/ Eating And Drinking/ Understanding/ Health/ Emergency/ General Expressions/ Yorùbá Names. Listen to it online or download it to your computer (90 MB size, mp3 file) by using one of the following three players.
