About this book xiii 1111 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1111 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 4222 The culture notes are followed by exercises that focus your attention to the information in the dialogue, and the items introduced in the language points. If you are not sure of how to do the exercise, go back to the dialogue or the language points. The second part of the unit follows the same pattern with the inclusion of a short pronunciation section. Since Yoruba is a tone language, each unit includes one exercise on tone practice to give you the opportunity to concentrate on the tonal patterns of many words encountered in the dialogue or the language points. Each unit ends with a “Listening or reading comprehension” section, followed by some comprehension questions to help you understand the reading. You will encounter some words that you are not familiar with in the text or passage, so try to use the context to find the meaning of the word. If you are very interested in learning Yoruba with this material, you should definitely use the recordings that accompany this book, because it is very important for you to be able to recognize correct tones in Yoruba. The more you listen to the recordings, the easier it will be for you to pronounce and understand the language. It is true that Yoruba is very phonetic in its orthography, but to help you understand Yoruba when you hear it you need to listen to the dialogues as many times as possible, because otherwise the tones in Yoruba can create quite a serious obstacle. The recordings will also help you with your pronunciation, so you should try to repeat out loud what you hear on the recordings. This book also contains full translations of all the reading passages, a short summary of the grammar, an exercise key (to check if your answers to the exercises are correct), and a full glossary of all the vocabulary encountered in the dialogues and language points.
