A very commendable effort, although one must say there is a wide gap between learning a language in class and really trying to acquire it. I haven't heard an American speaking Yoruba in recent times, but I still have vivid memories of Italians, Spaniards and Germans who spoke it with me. The main feature was not pronunciation; it was their reliance on "textbook Yoruba", upon which their acquisition was based. It would have been nice to have the names of the performers at the end of each skit.

yoruba is the hardest language to speak in nigeria because of the signs, syllabi which makes up this great language.
