Hello everyone!
My name is Awa. I am deeply passionate about the brain, learning languages, and teaching them. I am fluent in Wolof, French, and English and proficient in Spanish. Currently, I am delving into German, Russian, Arabic, and Mandarin. Learning a new language doesn't have to be boring—it's a life-changing skill. We develop a unique personality in each language we learn, broadening our perspectives on the world, and other cultures and societies. I love traveling and am always ready for the next adventure. I am eager to learn about your journey that led you to Italki!Me as a Teacher
With years of teaching languages to kids and adults under my belt, I've learned what works best. My teaching methods are based on how our memory works and lessons I've learned from my own language-learning experiences. Instead of focusing on memorizing vocabulary lists, I say LET'S START SPEAKING FROM DAY 1! Unlike typical classes that stress too much on grammar and writing, I put the spotlight on improving speaking and listening skills. My goal is to share my love of languages with you and help you meet your language goals. Cheers!My lessons & teaching style
TWO KEY PRINCIPLES: EXPOSURE and ASSOCIATION
My approach to teaching deviates from the conventional classroom style which, in my experience, can often be dull. Instead, I aim to immerse you in the language you're learning, introducing EXPOSURE from DAY 1. This immersion is achieved by connecting new words and phrases with familiar elements in your environment, crafting CONVERSATION naturally and seamlessly. I'm also a big believer in adaptability and will tailor my teaching style to your specific needs and suggestions, ensuring you have the most effective learning experience.5.0

Awa is a very very knowledgeable teacher of Wolof who understands both how language works in general as well as how the grammar of Wolof is put together. She puts up with my incessant questioning with good humour and is patient in explanations!

Today Awa brought a guest to class to encourage dialogue. This pushed me to answer questions and ask questions to someone new. It also allowed me to hear a different accent and adapt to hearing a different speed. Thank you Awa for always challenging me on the road to conversational fluency.
