A little practice. Your own voice.

Hold the speaking button while you say the phrase. Release it when you finish and review your attempt.
Come back to it
Repeat one useful Hausa phrase before adding another. A small routine is easier to keep.
Make it part of your day
Your first week with Hausa
- Days 1 and 2: make the first phrase familiar. Start with “Hello”. Hear it, try it, and revisit it tomorrow.
- Days 3 and 4: add another exchange. Practice “Hello polite”. Try recalling it before looking at the written example.
- Days 5 through 7: put your voice first. Revisit your Hausa starter phrases. Choose the one you would most like to use in a real conversation.
This is a suggested practice routine. Move at the pace that works for you.
