Hi, I purchased this course to learn the beautiful language of Wolof so when I visit Senegal it will help me engage with others on a more personal level. I have visited Senegal several times and have promised to finally learn. This first course took an interesting look at the history of the language, I enjoyed that. Starting with the alphabet and how it sounds in English was a valuable tool, I took notes and will work on these sounds. I look forward to future lessons in my journey to learn Wolof. Thank you for your course.

I appreciated the cultural and historical context given thus far- as if effects both language usage and on the ground experience.

The idea of the curse is good. The curse itself is also nicely structured but it is not finished. Specifically the "grammar" part...... As soon as next subjects are coming (the verb at least) I will glad to change my review
