Native Yoruba Speaker for Script Review

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

We are seeking a native Yoruba speaker to review a 16-minute language lesson script and record yourself reading it aloud. The ideal candidate will ensure the script is accurate and culturally appropriate. This role requires both language proficiency and audio recording skills. The task is part-time and expected to be completed in two weeks. I'm building an audio Yoruba course for English speakers. I need a native Yoruba speaker to do three things: 1) Review the script. It's about 16 minutes of teacher lines and student responses, plus a few short rater notes at the top and a vocabulary table at the bottom. Total reading time including review: ~30 minutes. You'll rate it on three axes (grammar, idiom, tone-when-read-aloud), flag anything that sounds wrong or unnatural, and answer a short list of specific questions I've included in the script itself. 2) Record yourself reading it aloud. The teacher lines AND the student response lines — read through end-to-end at a slow, patient pace. A phone recording in a quiet room is fine. Send me a voice recording. 3) Tell me what you'd fix. if you had to change ONE thing to make this lesson actually good, what would it be?
