Welcome to Tiv Language Learning

People have a desire to speak Tiv for different reasons. Tiv Language Learning (TLL) is designed for children born of Tiv speaking parents living in and outside Tivland . The programme will also be of use to those non-Tiv spouses of Tiv-speaking individuals.

If you are from other parts of Nigeria or outside Nigeria and are planning to visit or settle in Tivland, this book will walk you through learning Tiv in a short period of time. The vocabulary build-up is designed to enrich you with the skills to be able to pick up conversation at home, market, or restaurant. Particular emphasis is given to language which would aid communication between children and grand parents.

        It is expected that the illustrations, drawings, and the  accompanying videos and audio recordings will help you learn Tiv with greater pronunciation ability. The editors and team members are all native speakers of Tiv language and collectively have over 80 years of in-depth study of Tiv language and culture.

        TLL lessons are free at the introductory level. You can get the upper and more intensive courses with a small subscription or donation to help keep online services active.
