Hello!

ESE mister,
this vocabulary I know but I like to make conversation with it. I have a big dictionairy but to put the words in the right order is something other and the Ibadan press from 1957 is anyhow not talking the same yoruba like people use today. The pronuniation between my motherlanguage is almost the same like yoruba. Only where a word is starting or ending I can`t here. Like by ODABO it is one word for me.
BAWONI? sounds like one word, but how I learn to speak it to make conversation with it? Clearly I am able to say BATA MI BULU or something like that. But what this helps for conversation? For example how I can ask somebody to help me by something? And can you explain me the constuction of sentences? Thanks a lot.
