ENGLISH TRANSLATION

It is important to be familiar with the names of parts of the body in learning a language because it is often embedded in conversation. Understanding these names would enhance the knowledge of Yoruba by those who love to learn the language. We hope that the pictures and the Yoruba pronunciation on these slides would be useful.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Whether a person is rich or poor, there are some basic things that are important in a house before it can be called a home. For example: A house with a roof, door and windows; kitchen and cooking utensils; water: either pipe borne water, rain water or a well and food are all very important in a home.

Yoruba adage said “Home is for rest after the farm or a hard day’s work, hence it is important to have a house for a person to return to. Check out the names and pictures of many household items on this page.
