Im new subscriber, my husband is from Guinea and im moroccan i need to learn it to communicate with the elders we v been married for 10 years finally im building the courage to learn it inshaAllah, i ll make it a surprise for my husband inshaAllah

The reason is simple and logic, if their parents do not speak their mother/father tongue at home neither in their communities, how can you expect someone to speak an unwritten language without hearing it or listening to it an an earlier age and above ? Who to blame?????
Thanks for your information, however, not everybody is familiar with the N`KO alphabet. Time will come when we all shall get familiar to the same alphabets and speak to each another. Mind you Mandain has 33 dialects, therefore, let us encourage each one of the dialect in order to be united. Insha'allah
You are right, I will definately do that. Mandingos are one of the largest and biggest tribe in Sub Saharan countries or West Africa and well known for commerce, art and music....
Keep on learning, you will definately speak mandingo with perseverance.follow the lessons step by step..... read and write some words you like most and memorise them....
That is true, but if you observe the lessons, you will note that they are revision , wherein you have each topic written in both Mandingo and English. These are to draw your attention to the past lessons and encourage you to remember some words, phrases,or sentences already learnt. Hope you will find time to do so in order to be acquaintance with the language, by hearing and listening.
