Does your child understand you, but answer in English?

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Growing up far from home.

Many diaspora parents speak Yoruba or Igbo at home, yet their children reply in English. Some understand every word but feel shy to speak. Others missed the language completely and now feel left out at family gatherings or on calls with grandparents.

Language is how children connect with family, culture and identity. It's never too late to start, and children pick it up fastest with regular, encouraging practice.

WHAT CHANGES

A real connection to home.

  • Confident conversations with grandparents and family
  • Greetings, respect and everyday phrases used naturally
  • Reading and writing in Yoruba or Igbo
  • Pride in their culture, stories and proverbs
  • A language they can pass on one day

QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK

Frequently asked questions.

What age can my child start learning Yoruba or Igbo?

We teach children aged 4 to 16. Young children pick up sounds and words quickly, and older children can progress to reading, writing and conversation.

My child understands but won't speak. Can you help?

Yes, this is very common in diaspora families. Our tutors build confidence step by step with short, friendly speaking tasks until replying in Yoruba or Igbo feels natural.

I don't speak the language well myself. Can my child still learn?

Absolutely. Your tutor leads the learning, and we share simple ways you can encourage practice at home, even if you are learning alongside your child.

Are lessons one-to-one or in a group?

Both. One-to-one lessons give focused attention; small groups give children others to practise with. We recommend the right option after assessing your child.

Do lessons include reading and writing?

Yes. Depending on your child's level, lessons cover speaking, listening, reading and writing, along with culture, stories and proverbs.

How do I get started?
