Questions teachers ask about this resource
Why does the presentation include vocabulary in both French and Wolof?
French is Senegal's official language, but Wolof is the most widely spoken indigenous language, so the deck teaches greetings and basic phrases in both to reflect everyday bilingual use.
What does the Wolof concept of teranga refer to?
Teranga means warmth and generosity toward guests, described as one of Senegal's most defining cultural values tied to its reputation for hospitality.
