I was born in England and my parent were born in nigeria. They can speak yourba and i can't. I am 20 and i want to learn how to speak it. I can understand some simple words and phases but i can't speak it fluently. I am 20 and the last time i went to nigeria i was 6.

Can someone give me any tips and advice on how i can start to learn yourba.

You're lying

I dont know ANY Yoruba parents that dont talk their kids at least SOME Yoruba, no matter where they reside. Plus you live in London? aka Lagos part 2?

My friend go with your early April Fools joke.

How can you say he/ she is lying, do you live in his/her house? Do you think all Yoruba parents are the same?

Just accept the fact that the guy was disadvantaged and is trying to help himself. Hes not the first person in his situation so the best thing we can do is help him.

@OP

It's good that you're trying to learn your language. You can talk to your parents about trying to speak it to you at home. Even if initially you won't be able to learn to reply in Yoruba, you will have an understanding of how the language sounds. If you're in college, you can try visiting Nigeria during the summer and spending time in your village.
