Our Story
We started Ajíire to reimagine how Yorùbá is learned; warm tools, not textbooks, so speaking feels natural in everyday life.
Many people want to use Yorùbá, whether to connect with family, travel meaningfully, or simply because they’re curious, but most resources feel academic, intimidating, or out of reach.
So we built our first set: flashcard deck paired with a guided audio companion. From greeting someone warmly to expressing joy or gratitude, each card and track helps you build confidence one phrase at a time.
Ajíire means “to wake up to goodness.”
Every new word is a small step toward belonging and understanding.
By blending thoughtful design with authentic expression, Ajíire invites everyone to experience Yorùbá as a living, modern language; full of rhythm, history, and heart.
What we believe
- Small steps, often. Five minutes a day beats cramming.
- Beauty invites use. When tools feel good in your hands, you’ll reach for them.
- Authentic, not academic. Clear pronunciation and real-life context build confidence.
- Everyone belongs. Whether returning or starting fresh.
