Known for its simplicity and appeal, Temne is an indigenous language, predominantly spoken in Sierra Leone. The language holds an integral position in Sierra Leone's rich cultural panorama. Learning Temne is not only a means of communication but also a chance to connect with the vibrant history and culture that the language embodies. Moreover, Temne's recognizable tones make it a wonderful gateway language for anyone interested in African diaspora languages.
I love that you provide the FSI courses!. I first was exposed to one in 1965 when I was learning Amharic.
The FSI course, combined with classes with native speakers, really got me up to speed and I had a reasonable ability after only two months!
These courses are really thorough! Best of all, the audio portion started right in by immersing me in a real-life conversation spoken by a native speaker at normal speed.
This year I wanted to brush up on my Amharic and I'm glad I chose FSI Language Courses!
