      you are still very young and that's a good thing. I think if you have someone to practise with (maybe your parents or friends) then it'll make learning the language easy. Try to also learn yoruba slang words and use youtube videos to help with pronunciation.

    • @KeyLimeKue
      @KeyLimeKue 3 года назад +7

      You should definitely dabble in music (Afrobeat Yoruba Artist) and movies (not sure what is appropriate for someone your age). Although I was born in the states I speak Yoruba pretty well. I watched the Yoruba movies, without the subtitles then with subtitles to get a better understanding of the language and how it's used. It's never too late to learn there are many tools out there where you can learn and your parents are a great resource for you.

      There’s a generation of African parents who expected their children to magically “pick things up.” Instead of being taught.
      Who expected their children to automatically absorb the culture and language of their parents by magic. Without any parental input whatsoever.
      No one is quicker to drop and denigrate their culture than we Africans.
      Colonial education of european geography and european history is to this day still taught in African schools.

    This is literally the story of my family’s language abilities. 😂 My grandma is Swedish and they chose to keep Swedish a secret language so they could talk about stuff that was inappropriate for children in front of us. Then my dad acted all insulted when I couldn’t speak it.

      @@avatara82 Part of the problem is there’s nobody to practice it with. We used to live in Chicago where there are Swedish neighborhoods, however, once we moved, nobody knew it because of the lack of ethnic Swedes in our area. My Farmor is now in an assisted living place and she probably has Alzheimer’s. They don’t label it as that, but that’s kind of what it’s like. I am grateful she knows Swedish, English, and American Sign Language. They say being bilingual helps and she’s trilingual. There was also a Swedish couple living at this place and I said “Farmor you have to go hang out with them! They’re from Värmland too!” That’s honestly so big to find someone from the same province as you today in the US. That still blows my mind. I hope they are speaking lots of Swedish to each other.
      As far as Swedish goes though, I think it’s something that’s sadly been lost to my family, but we do still carry some ethnic and cultural Swedish traditions. Like we might have juletomtens, peppakakor, bullas, etc. But little of the language.

If you have two parents, but one is only your bio parent, than you won't biologically be related to both of them. Maybe, this is a second marriage for one of your parents, and you were already born, from a previous
      marriage. Maybe you could have been adopted as a child, one adoptive parent, you happen to coincidentally share the same language and tribe , the other parent you don't. In the end, all that matters is you have a loving family .
