Learn Yoruba tones by hearing your own pitch
Yoruba has three tones, and the tone changes the word: kó (build), ko (sing), kò (reject). One syllable, three different words. Yoruba speakers teach the tones with musical note names: low is do, mid is re, high is mi. Yoruba Tone Trainer listens through your microphone, draws your pitch line over the target tone level, and tells you exactly what to fix, one named hint at a time.
