Salaam Aleikum samay xarite yi! (Peace be upon you, my friends!)
Kaay ñu jang Wolof - Come let's learn wolof
HAPPY SENEGALESE INDEPENDENCE and welcome to the first episode of my WOLOF class! This first episode is called Nuyoo - Greetings. To celebrate the independence of Senegal this year, I decided to put this Wolof class together to with the world :).
Starting from April 4th, I will be posting a Wolof class online EVERY DAY for a week. Each lesson will consist of a video on KZbin, a blogpost + downloadable syllabus/worksheet on senegalesetwisted.com and some additional info on my Instagram. The video will start with a dialogue and afterwards, I will break down the dialogue. Definitely go to senegalesetwisted.com for the lesson materials. If you have any questions, go to my Instagram, where I'll be giving you the chance to ask me anything! Let’s get into the first class: Nuyoo! - Greetings.

Thank you ! You are a good teacher 😊 and i have downloaded the worksheet. I m ready for the lessons !!! As i want To move to Sénégal, am happy you are doing this. Thank youuu

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Aww, you are so welcome!! 🥰🥰 I’m glad to hear you like this and of course the idea of moving back to Senegal excites me too!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@allyf.7694]

@@SenegaleseTwisted are you moving back ? I Never lived in Sénégal just vacation

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Oh really?! I lived there but for my internship and thesis (for research) and after graduation for about 1,5 years!! The idea of moving to Senegal excites me, but I want to buy a house and then maybe do 6 months here and 6 months there to start 😍!

[@allyf.7694]

@@SenegaleseTwisted Niceeee projets half/ half !!! Congrats for your graduation ! Me i just want to leave the UE and go To Mama africa, rebuild my identity .... give To my kids an other perspective and values and the love of our motherland.😊

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Thank you!! That sounds like a GREAT plan 😍😍😍😍 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@georgetware2098]

I'm English and living in Italy, and with so many Senegalese people here it'd be great to have some strong vocab under my belt so please keep these classes coming. Jërërjëf this has been really helpful 🙏

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Great to hear you find these helpful! I used to live in Italy. And went back in 2021, I saw a lot of Senegalese people there too. 😄😄 I may come back with a new Wolof class!

[@MasterEnergyHarmonizer]

i am in Senegal been here since June. I don’t like French that much but I will practice a little, I love the natural original language Wolof. I must learn Wolof! Jerejef

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

I also don’t like French!!! How are you enjoying Senegal? I hope you like it 🤭. Yes, practice! Definitely download the syllabus and read the blog for cultural context if that interests you! You can find a link to both in the description box.

[@MasterEnergyHarmonizer]

@@SenegaleseTwisted I am enjoying my new life here. I love Senegal 🇸🇳 And okay I will do that. Jerejef 💛

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

@MasterEnergyHarmonizer that’s good to hear! Let me know if you have any questions or if things are still unclear! Enjoy Senegal for me 🇸🇳🥰

Jerejef Wolof jangela.. Im preparing to live in Senegal and I’ve been looking for a teacher or classes. Thank you for starting the process.

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Niofar sama waay! That’s amazing to hear. Glad I could be part of that process. If you have any questions, definitely reach out. Also, don’t forget to download the syllabus for each class via the link in the descriptionbox!

[@Kvossera]

I just learned about Wolof when I watched the movie Saloum. I’d never heard of Wolof before and I’ve been trying to learn more.

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Oh that’s interesting! Did you enjoy the movie??? Let me know if you have any questions!

[@Kvossera]

@@SenegaleseTwisted yes the movie is wonderful and the landscapes around the Saloum Delta are beautiful. I’ve watched the movie numerous times now

[@Kvossera]

@@SenegaleseTwisted apologies I hit send too soon. I’ve been trying to learn more about Wolof. I know it’s a mix of a few different languages or that it has incorporated Arabic and French into it. I think that the verbs don’t change, and that it is spelled exactly as it’s spoken - which is very nice.

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

@@Kvossera whoa! I watched it earlier this year in Amsterdam and it was very interesting!!! Glad you enjoyed it

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

@@Kvossera you’re fine!!! Yeah, Wolof is actually just Wolof but because of colonization we have incorporated French words and because of the influence of Islam, there are certain words that derived from Arabic! You can also start watching Senegalese tv shows or listen to Senegalese music to stay familiar with the language

Nice class, I've meet a few good people from Senegal in Essaouira Morocco I promised them I would learn to speak Wolof with them,

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Thank you! There are more video’s if you are interested (7 in total!). Let me know if you have any questions. 🤝🏾

[@StoicMao]

Thank you so much! All the lessons were very beginner or Gambia Wolof so I really appreciate this! 🤍

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

You are welcome!!! Yes, I really wanted to create a Wolof class that was very accessible and more of an introduction to Wolof. Glad you enjoyed!! Hope everything was clear and you were able to find the syllabus and the blogpost with cultural context 🤭🤭 let me know if you have any questions!

[@honesty7791]

just discovered you. I find your class easy to follow. I was born in Senegal, lived in Rufisque ( Tangueje). Last time I visited was 1996. Still have families there. Since I just followed your 2 yrs old lesson, I wanted to ask you to help the non-Wolof speaking guests to understand the words better by transcribing the major words while you speaking. It would be a visual and listening video for all. Good job and thank you

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Welcome to my channel! 🥳🥳 thank you, that is good to know. Oh wow, that is a long time ago. Any plans to go back? Thanks for the feedback! Did you find the syllabus I created? You can find them in the description of every video - or on www.senegalesetwisted.com under the tab “Wolof” you can find a post for each class that gives cultural context and has a link to the syllabus. - It works best if you use them together. You are most welcome ✨ let me know if you have any questions 😁

[@marcelinav_]

Salaam malekum, I have a question. So when asking how’s your family I hear people ending it with “gi” or “gu/ga”. What’s the difference, if there is one?

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Wa Aleikoum Salam! That’s a valid question! It’s just a difference in pronounciation, but not in meaning. So you can either say for example Naka wa kër ga or Naka wa kër gui but it means the same! I think it derives from the other ethnic groups that also speak Wolof so for example someone whose first language is Pulaar may say it different than someone whose first language is Sereer. Just like how Gambians have a different type of pronounciation that may derive from them being anglophone and not francophone like in Senegal. Hope that helps!

[@marcelinav_]

@@SenegaleseTwisted beautiful explanation, thank you!

[@khady232]

Merci, merci !!! Je cherche des cours, des manuels mais je ne trouve pas grand chose en français. Est-ce tu auras des suggestions de bons manuels en anglais ? 😊😊

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

De rien, on est ensemble! Je pense qu’en français c’est mieux qu’en anglais… manuels en anglais n’éxistent pres que pas, mais tu peux essayer de chercher sur z-lib, mais je pense qu’ils ont plus de dictionaires que des manuels, sorry!!!

[@mapefpada7681]

Salut. Bon moi je pense que tu devrais mettre ici la transcription écrite dans les deux langues que tu vas utiliser, anglais-wolof, ou français-wolof, ou espagnol-wolof...., Beaucoup d'entre nous n'avons pas le temps d'aller consulter le matériel écrit ailleurs sur Internet. Le plus efficace pour moi c'est d'avoir tout ici, la grammaire, les phrases, les conversations, mais toujours avc la transcription écrite dans les deux langues pour pouvoir répéter et pratiquer l'oral et l'écrit simultanément. Tu devrais utiliser la transcription écrite dans les deux langues dans tous tes vidéos, pour bien aider les Européens qui veulent apprendre le wolof, et au même temps les wolofs qui veulent apprendre la langue européenne que tu utilises pour expliquer le wolof, l'anglais ou le français ou celle que tu préfères... Voilà, c'est juste mon avis personnel. Je cherche des cours de wolof complètes et bien structurés sur KZbin, avc un enseignement progressif de grammaire, phrases, conversations, dialogues, ....de plus a moins...et franchement il n'y a pas grand-chose, en général ils ne sont pas très bien développés...

[@SenegaleseTwisted]

Bonjour! Je sais que c’est possible d’utiliser la transcription, mais moi je voulais l’offrir avec une syllabus. That’s why, but still thanks!

[@mapefpada7681]

@@SenegaleseTwisted Yeah but without the transcripts subtitles simultaneously in both languages your videos are useless for me because I don't understand wolof, so I need to see the written sentences in wolof and English at the same time I'm listening to understand what are you talking about hahaha...
