Share
If you already enjoy reading The Journal — Ajíire’s collection of stories, tips, and reflections on learning Yorùbá; you’ll love this next step.
Introducing The Journal by Ajíire Podcast, a free, public audio stream that brings our written stories to life through sound, voice, and everyday Yorùbá expression.
Each episode is designed to inspire your learning journey, not replace it — offering thoughtful conversations, short lessons, and cultural reflections drawn from Ajíire’s paid Audio Guide and flashcard series.
A Companion to The Journal Blog
Think of The Journal podcast as the audio edition of The Journal blog.
It’s a place where you can listen to some of our most-loved articles, language tips, and cultural notes narrated with the same warmth, rhythm, and context that make Yorùbá so special.
Where the blog offers depth and discovery through reading, the podcast adds another layer: listening practice.
You’ll hear real pronunciations, phrasing, and tone helping you absorb what you’ve read in a natural, immersive way.
Connected to the Ajíire Audio Guide
Some podcast episodes feature samples and excerpts from the Ajíire Yorùbá Audio Guide, our paid learning companion to the flashcard deck.
These short previews give you a feel for the full experience, offering a glimpse into the guided pronunciation, context notes, and everyday scenarios covered in the complete Audio Guide.
If you already own the Audio Guide, The Journal podcast is a wonderful way to reinforce what you’re learning.
If you’re just discovering Ajíire, it’s a free invitation to experience what the Ajíire learning experience sounds like before diving in.
