Wolof, primarily spoken in Senegal, Gambia, and Mauritania, is a vibrant language steeped in rich history and culture. Its unique structure and rhythm make it different from many other languages. Learning Wolof not only broadens your language portfolio but also opens doors to a diverse, warm, and welcoming African culture. In this digital age, the ability to communicate in several languages is a valuable skill, and Wolof is an exciting addition to your linguistic repertoire.
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!
