Learn Yoruba and Immerse Yourself in Culture
Embrace the rich culture and vibrant language of Yoruba with our established language school!
Our Story: Founded five years ago, we began offering in-person Yoruba language classes for the Calgary community. Due to the pandemic, we seamlessly transitioned to a user-friendly online platform using Google Workspace Classroom three years ago. This ensures convenient and continued learning for our students.
School Schedule: Classes run from September to June, following a convenient schedule:
- Days: 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month
- Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Beyond the Classroom: Learning goes beyond books! We organize in-person activities once a month, featuring immersive experiences in Yoruba culture and heritage. These activities include:
- Hair braiding workshops
- Traditional sewing techniques
- Culinary workshops focused on Yoruba cuisine
- Music workshops
- Youth workshops tailored for younger learners
- Cultural field trips
Something for Everyone: We welcome learners of all ages! Our curriculum caters to all skill levels:
- Level 1 (Beginners): Designed for those with no prior knowledge of spoken or written Yoruba.
- Level 2 (Intermediate): For individuals with limited understanding and speaking ability.
- Level 3 (Advanced): Ideal for those who understand and speak Yoruba but want to further enhance their fluency and explore the language in greater depth.
