My parents actually layed a ban on speaking any language
That's pretty unfortunate. In their defence, they thought they were doing you a favour. What they didn't realise is that actually growing up multilingual helps you learn even more languages more easily later on. I speak about 5 languages now and know a lot of words in many others. I find it very easy.
I think Yoruba, you have to acquire it like a child to truly speak it well. Learning it later is always a bit hard... but possible. At least the language is "cool" now haha.
Yeah, it is a little "cool" but I still speak the language like an igbo boy. In fact, nobody would believe I am yoruba until they I say my surname. I look all Igbo.
Hahaha. Nice one.
