1. Study Wolof.
2. If you don't know a Wolof word, use the French word with a Wolof accent.
3. If you don't know the French word, use the English word with a French accent.
25% of the time, it works 25% of the time.
Also, I dreamt in Wolof the other night. A couple weeks ago I dreamt in not English or any deciphrable language. This time, it was definitely Wolof. I didn't understand it, but it was pretty cool nonetheless.
