Yorùbá Language Courses
Yoruba is spoken, among other languages, in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo and traces of it are found among communities in Brazil, Sierra Leone (where it is called Oku), and Cuba (where it is called Nago). It is the official language of Nigeria.
SOAS Language Centre in London offers these Yorùbá courses:
- Beginners Yorùbá (one evening a week)
- Elementary Yorùbá (two evenings a week)
