"I’ve tried to learn Yoruba for years, but nothing stuck. YapTime’s short daily lessons fit perfectly into my schedule — now I’m finally speaking with my parents in Yoruba!"

"My family used to laugh when I tried to speak Yoruba — now they’re impressed! YapTime gave me the confidence to keep going and actually enjoy the process."
Peter. A, London
"At first I thought 10 minutes wouldn’t be enough. But after four weeks, I’m amazed how much I’ve learned. It’s all about showing up every day — YapTime made that easy."
Why YapTime Was Created?
I’m the co-creator of the hit TV show Meet the Adebanjos on Netflix — a sitcom all about British-Nigerian family life. But for years, I carried a personal secret: I didn’t know how to speak Yoruba.
I had tried to learn before — weekly tutors, online courses, language apps. Nothing stuck. Maybe I was too busy. Maybe I gave up too easily. Or maybe the traditional ways of learning just didn’t work for someone like me.
I’d start... then stop. Every time. No momentum. No confidence.
Then I thought back to when I trained for my first marathon. I didn’t become a runner overnight. I built up to it — a little bit, every day. That’s when it hit me: language learning is just like training — it’s a habit.
So I built YapTime — first as an experiment on myself. Ten minutes a day. No pressure. Real conversations. The goal was to show up, not be perfect.
Twenty days turned into fifty. Fifty into a hundred.
And now? I can have full conversations with my parents — in Yoruba. It's been one of the most empowering experiences of my life.
YapTime wasn’t just created for learners. It was created by one.
