Excerpt from Language Studies in Yoruba
This book is intended to be practical and to assist those who desire to learn the Yoruba Language. Its aim is to supply the long-felt need of a book between a full grammatical treatise and a phrase book. The rules of English Grammar will be of service to the student, and for those who wish to use it a full conjugation of the verb appears in Part X. Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the necessity of learning the intonation and meaning of words at the same time. The same may be said of memory work, for the primary need in learning any language is a Vocabulary. Part III. Is so arranged that the student can give special attention to any group of nouns if so desired. Use has been made of Bowen's Grammar and Wood's Notes. The student is recommended to purchase the following - Bibeli Mimo Dictionary of the Yoruba Language and the full series of Yoruba Readers. These can be obtained at any of the c.m.s. Bookshops.
