About Me
I am a kind and patient teacher who wants to make language learning fun and relaxed.
I design my classes according to the student's needs and learning ways.
My native language is Finnish and I learned Wolof as my second language, because of my background. I have concluded one year intensive Wolof studies as a part of my Bachelor's degree. Currently I am living in Gambia and speaking Wolof daily. Obviously, I cannot offer you a native level understanding of the language, but I can teach you the structure and grammar of the language.
My goal as a teacher is to help students to become courageous in using the language they are learning and to have the tools to keep learning the language. My main goal is to help you to reach a goal where you can have conversations in Wolof. Repetition and conversation will play a big part in my classes.
As my academic background lies in linguistics and African studies, I want to engage the culture in the language learning. Understanding the culture will help us to understand the language as well, I believe they go hand in hand.
As I live in Gambia and have a Gambian background, I will be teaching Gambian Wolof.
