The adult who left home
You understand more than you can say. You want greetings, market speech, and the respect forms elders still expect — without a cartoon school.
Ìdíléwa · our family
Express in your mother’s tongue. Keep the dialects alive.
A serious daily school for Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ogu (Egun), and Swahili — then Spanish, French, Arabic, and Portuguese. Built for the adult who left, the child being raised abroad, and the Saturday class that needs the other six days.
Connect and learn from home
Hear it. Say it. Mark it tonight.
A tutor and a learner, on one daily plan. Record words and sentences. Feedback live at the table — or in the evening inbox when the adult is back from work.
Speak
Hear the model. Record your take. Play it back.
Live with home
Tutor or family marks Good or Again before the next line.
After school or work
Record when the day is done. Notes land later.
Why these languages
Hundreds of millions of speakers. Almost no serious daily school.
Who it is for
The parent raising children abroad
English fills the school day. Idilewa is the four minutes after dinner so Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa does not become a secret language of the grandparents.
The Saturday school
UK complementary schools, churches, and cultural associations need a daily path students can open on the bus — not a PDF photocopied each term.
The child in the yard
A short path for colours, body, and animals. Live talk with an adult tutor only after a parent sends a one-use code.
Method
Hear it
Every new word is spoken first. You listen, then choose, then write — the same order a child at home learns.
Use it
Lessons are scenes, not lists. A greeting at the door. A price at the stall. A name offered without rushing.
Keep it
A short daily path, and conversation practice when you are ready to speak back.
