Hello, everyone, along those same lines, could someone help me with this...
I want to find resrouces for learning Wolof, Mandinka, and other languages
native to The Gambia. I've found some dictionaries, but those are totally
confusing to me, since I use screen reading software to use my computer (I'm
visually imapired and can't see the screen). My software, alas, cannot
handle the dictionaries, since in them, Ihaven't been able to find any
English... What I'm looking for is maybe a software program or something
like that, where I can hear the words and phrases being spoken, since that
would probably be the best way for me to learn them.
Anyway, help would be greatly appreciated....
Ginny
