YapTime, created by Andrew Osayemi (co-creator of the Netflix show Meet the Adebanjos), helps members of the African diaspora reconnect with their language through simple 10-minute daily WhatsApp conversations with friendly native tutors.
Starting with Yoruba and expanding into more African languages, YapTime is designed for busy professionals and students who need flexible lessons that fit into real life. Learners choose a time that works for them Monday to Friday and receive personalised voice notes and pronunciation tips after each call.
Over time, students move naturally from basic greetings to confident, meaningful conversations with family and friends. YapTime isn’t just language learning — it’s cultural reconnection, one conversation at a time.
The platform was inspired by Andrew’s own journey after struggling for years to learn Yoruba himself and realising that real progress comes from short, consistent practice — not long, overwhelming lessons.
We know life can be hectic, so YapTime is built around daily flexibility. You choose a time that works for you, and your tutor adapts around your schedule. Even on the busiest days, 10 minutes is enough to keep your momentum going and build confidence step by step.
Every learner is matched with a tutor based on their goals, pace, and availability. Lessons run Monday to Friday, with personalised voice notes and pronunciation tips after each call. Over time, learners move naturally from simple greetings to meaningful everyday conversations.
Today, YapTime is more than language learning — it’s cultural reconnection.
We’ve begun with Yoruba and are expanding into more African languages, helping people everywhere speak with confidence and pride, one conversation at a time.See more
