bii mu classo Mandinka kano le ti

"Today is Mandinka language class."

Cassie, Cail, and I spent four days in an intensive Mandinka language seminar. It was a bit overwhelming as we covered all the grammar and lots of vocab in a very short amount of time. But this is important as over 1/2 of my town speaks mandinka, as well as a majority of the community co op I'm working with, as well as Cassie's nearby town.

So this makes my...3rd Senegalese language? I'm losing count, and can't figure out which language to count in.
