Welcome in Yoruba
Nigerian languages, kept alive in the next generation.
We help children learn indigenous Nigerian languages — starting with Yoruba, and growing with the contributions of speakers, teachers, translators and volunteers.

Why we do this
Our languages carry memory, family, and belonging. When children keep the words, they keep the connection.
Many Nigerian children growing up abroad lose the thread of their heritage language within a generation. Speak Nigeria exists to make that thread easy to hold onto, through joyful learning and resources that don't cost families anything.
What we're building
Different ways to bring the language home.
Learn through play
We're building a free, open-source learning game for Nigerian languages — multi-platform, and made to grow language by language.
Play the games →Watch and repeat
Short educational videos that teach words, songs, and stories — free for everyone to watch.
Watch on YouTube →Help wanted — every language
Speak a Nigerian language? Help us teach it.
We're building open-source learning games and we need volunteers to translate words and phrases and record them in their language — Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Bini, Ijaw, Efik, and more. You don't need to be a teacher. If you speak it, you can help.
