I am Senegalese, Professor, Linguist and Wolof language specialist. Learn and speak Wolof easily with me. I offer individual and group lessons.
My methodology is to base myself on the courses in a structural and clear way, accessible to my learners to give them quality teaching and a total understanding of the courses in a cordial and satisfying atmosphere.

Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal, Gambia where it has been enriched by the contributions of other dialects, Arabic and French, which remains the official language. It is experiencing a cultural expansion in the country and is also present in Gambia and Mauritania.

So to facilitate your integration into Senegalese society; it is essential to go through this language because it is the vernacular although there are several beautiful local Senegalese languages but Wolof remains the most used language. this is why I propose to teach the beauty of this language which is my specialty and my mother tongue, I also teach Senegalese and Gambian culture and civilization.

Learning Wolof offers anyone who wishes to get to know Senegal, in a professional, cultural or touristic context, to establish privileged contact with its population.

My method is very simple, I start by teaching you the most common and used words and expressions. Then slowly the formation of sentences, conjugation, grammar but also you how to pronounce each word well and know their positions in the sentence.
Thanks to my very simple and effective teaching methodology, the student can manage to form sentences in Wolof very easily from our first lesson.

I teach Gambian Wolof dialect and senegalese Wolof dialect.

I also want to inform my learners that apart from online courses, I organize language visits and tours in Senegal; for those who wish to travel in order to practice and discover Senegal with special packages.

Je suis sénégalais , Professeur, Linguiste et Spécialiste de la langue wolof . Apprenez et parlez facilement le wolof avec moi. Je propose des cours individuels et collectifs.
Ma méthodologie est de me baser sur les cours de manière structurelle et claire , accessible à mes apprenants pour leurs donner un enseignement de qualité et une compréhension totale des cours dans une atmosphère cordiale et satisfaisante.

Ma méthode est très simple, je commence par vous apprendre les mots et les expressions les plus courants et les plus utilisés. Ensuite doucement la formation des phrases, la conjugaison, la grammaire mais aussi vous comment bien prononcer chaque mots et connaître leurs positions dans la phrase.
Grâce à ma méthodologie d’enseignement très simple et efficace l’élève peut parvenir à former des phrases en wolof très facilement dès notre premier cours .

Je tiens aussi à informer mes apprenants qu'en-dehors des cours en ligne, j'organise des visites linguistiques et tours au Senegal; pour ceux qui souhaitent voyager afin de pratiquer et découvrir le Sénégal avec des forfaits spéciaux.
