## What is Yoyo Yoruba?

Yoyo Yoruba teaches Yorùbá through play, for every age from three up.
Twenty-four hand-drawn activities, a bird called Kókò who says every word out
loud, and a quiet dashboard of controls behind a passcode. Seventeen
activities are pure play, and seven are a beginner's course in the letters,
the tones and the keyboard.

Every Yorùbá word in the app is a real human voice - recorded, not synthesised -
with the tone marks written the way they are spoken.

WHAT IS IN THE BOX

Òní · Today - a small daily ritual to come back to.
Dárúko! · Name it! - drag a word onto its picture. 271 illustrated words.
Ìkíni and Ìbéèrè · Greetings - answer real people in four painted worlds, and
learn how a younger person greets an elder.
Ìtàn · Stories - sixteen illustrated tales, read aloud.
Ara mi · My body - label the picture, ten parts.
Àwárí · Find it - hunt the named thing in a painted room.
Ebí mi · Family - flashcards of your own family, from your own photos.
Ise · Work - fifty jobs, each one named aloud.
Yà á! · Draw - trace the alphabet with a finger.
So o · Say it - record a word and hear yourself say it back.
Palemo · Sort it! - tidy things into seven baskets.
Àdììtú · Puzzle - jigsaws that name what they show.
Eré · Games - a memory match that speaks each pair.
Oro Ojoojúmo · Everyday speech - 150 phrases, in three banks.
Ìrìnàjò · Adventure - ten worlds, from the farm to the city bus.
Àtúnyewò · Review - the words coming back round.
Orin · Songs - eighteen to sing along to, six with video.

AND A BEGINNER'S COURSE

Pátákó ÀBD · Letters - all twenty-five, spoken.
Àkoko · First letter - which letter does it start with?
Àkàbà · Syllables - one consonant, seven vowels.
Ìtúmo Ohùn · Tone and meaning - one spelling, four words.
Àmì Ohùn · Tones - the do-re-mi of Yorùbá, taught as a game.
Ònkà · Numbers - one to twenty, counted aloud.
Ìtewé · Write it - type Yorùbá, marks and all.

Plus a sticker album that fills up as you play.

NOTHING IN THE WAY

No reading required to play - every label can be tapped and heard.
No wrong turns - nothing punishes a mistake, and nothing is timed.
No menus to get lost in - one screen of pictures, and a back arrow.
English is optional. Switch it off and the app is Yorùbá alone. Or read the
labels in Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish or French instead.

BEHIND THE PASSCODE

A quiet dashboard, four digits to open:
· A daily time limit, from ten minutes to an hour.
· What the learner actually knows - mastery by activity, words learned, stars
  and cards won, and a day streak.
· Play time over the last seven days.
· The player's name, and whether the adventure hero is a boy or a girl.
· Switch any activity off to hide it from the home screen.
· Sounds and music on or off; choose how much is spoken aloud.

PRIVACY

No adverts. No third-party trackers or analytics. No account to create, and no
sign-in. Voice recordings and family photos stay on the device and are never
uploaded. The app works offline - the only time it reaches the
internet is to check a purchase.

SUBSCRIPTION

Yoyo Yoruba is free to try: the first part of every activity is open, with
no time limit and no card required.

Full access is a subscription - Monthly at $3.99, or Yearly at $29.99 (four
months free). A one-off Lifetime unlock is sometimes offered. Prices are shown in
your own currency before you buy. Every activity can be played in a limited form
before you pay for anything.

Payment is charged to your store account at confirmation. A subscription renews
automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends;
manage or cancel it in your account settings at any time.
