The learning of national languages, particularly that of Dioula, becomes a necessity.
Dioula is a vehicular and integration language spoken in Burkina and several countries of the sub-region (Mali, Ivory Coast, Guinea ...).
We offer this application of self learning dioula to meet the many requests.
Indeed for several years we are approached daily by expatriates and nationals wishing to learn to speak dioula hence this learning document. This booklet therefore responds to the need expressed by many people.
First of its kind, it is simple and practical to be accessible to average French speakers. By this we mean someone who knows how to read and understand a simple and easy French.
To do this, this document remains open to learners' interests. It does not target a particular area.
Also, let us know your specific needs so that we can try to answer them.
This document, "Volume I", is the first in a series of four documents, including a glossary, which are available in bookstores and some food sources in Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso, Dédougou, and Nouna.
The introduction is the alphabet dioula and basic principles that can allow us to have a common code for our written communication.
In the third chapter we offer the greeting formulas.
The fourth chapter speaks of blessing formulas.
In the sixth chapter we will go to the market.
