I couldn’t be happier with the books in mandinka! This is a wonderful and educational book that introduces children to Mandinka through animals, objects, and the body. The illustrations are engaging and colorful, which makes learning both fun and memorable for young readers.
One of the best features is the QR code that lets you listen to the correct pronunciation – such a clever and helpful addition! It makes the book accessible and useful even for parents who don’t speak Mandinka themselves.
I highly recommend the books to anyone interested in early language learning or looking to introduce Mandinka to their children.
