Man, Marie Fernandes laa tudd. Agsil! Come on in! In this course, I you will learn you how to speak Wolof! Wolof is a language spoken mainly in Senegal, the Gambia and in the Diaspora. In Senegal, although French is the official language, Wolof is the lingua franca, meaning people from different ethnic groups who do not understand one another’s language will use it to communicate. Join me and learn how to greet, to introduce yourself and others, to count numbers, money, and negotiate prices, yes in Senegal you must negotiate, or you will pay the price! You will be able to ask and answer a variety of simple questions about time and provide some basic information about everyday life. Ayca ñu dem!
