Pillar · Learn Ebira
In designFrom your first greeting to your first riddle.
A structured, self-paced path from beginner to intermediate: audio-first, tone-aware, and built on the same corpus that powers the dictionary. Learn on your phone, offline, wherever the diaspora took you.
The beginner track launches in Phase 2 with the corpus audio. This is the planned curriculum; join the waitlist below to be in the first cohort.
The beginner track
Alphabet & tone
The sounds of Ebira, the orthography, and how tone changes meaning, trained by ear from day one.
Greetings & respect
How Anebira greet across the day, elders and age-mates, and the responses that mark you as home-trained.
Family & names
Kinship words, personal names and their meanings, and how to introduce yourself and your people.
Numbers & market
Counting, money, bargaining, and the everyday phrases that carry a market day in Okene.
Home & food
The household, cooking, and eating: the vocabulary of daily life, where language lives longest.
Stories & riddles
Graduate into real oral tradition: follow a folk story, catch the proverb, answer the riddle.
Built to keep you coming back
Audio-first drills
Every item is spoken by real Ebira speakers from the corpus, not synthesis, until the TTS is good enough to earn its place.
Streaks & quizzes
Small daily sessions with spaced repetition, a riddle-of-the-day, and streaks that make showing up a habit.
Tone from day one
Tone is meaning in Ebira. Minimal-pair listening drills train your ear before your eyes get involved.
Certificates that count
Completion certificates arrive in Phase 2 and build toward the university-recognised certificate and degree pathway in Phase 3.
