Hey scammer girl ;-)
Well done for taking up Yoruba! You should be proud of your linguistic background. I've dug up some resources for you that you could check out!
Good luck! :-)

The best thing to do is search websites. I am half nigerian, igbo tribe, and i never learned because my mom is american and my dad just never made an effort to teach us (that's seen as the mother's job.) A good site to start with is Motherland Nigeria; the site contains basic words from the three main nigerian languages, igbo, yoruba, and hausa. Also, if you still have contact with your father's side, tell them about your interest. They might make you a care package with english-yoruba dictionaries, grammar books, etc. to help you in your pursuit to know the other half of you. Good Luck!
