Alice McLean of Chicago won the Wolof phrase book from Vive at the #AATF25 convention! She's a retired teacher and told us that winning this phrase book is a sign she should travel to Senegal! 🇸🇳 We agree! 💚💛♥️ #travel #frenchteachers #senegal #vivelexperience

Does anyone else use the Radio Garden app? It’s like google earth for radio stations - just pick a spot on the globe. You can find talk shows, music & news in your study languages or listen to random stations just to hear what other languages sound like. #langsky #languages #polyglot

Did you know that #JimmyCarter and the Carter Foundation helped eliminate Guinea worm disease? In 1997 #Senegal transmission was stopped, and was officially certified by the World Health Organization as Guinea worm-free in 2004. I’ll let you look up the details on what the 🐛 would do to a person.
