Speak it before you land.

Four weeks of live lessons with Nigerian linguists, built for the December trip home. Pick your language, learn the greetings, the market haggling and the wedding small talk you will actually use.

How the four weeks run

  1. Week 1

    Greetings and respect

    How to greet elders, introduce yourself and not cause offence at the door.

  2. Week 2

    Market and money

    Numbers, haggling, and getting a fair price without switching to English.

  3. Week 3

    Food and family

    Ordering, complimenting the cook, and answering the questions aunties ask.

  4. Week 4

    Out and about

    Directions, transport, parties — the language of moving around a city.
