Et je suis d'accord avec Iversen, ta faute d'orthographe est un vraiment drôle jeu de mots ... ;-)

Wow, I read the "5 reasons" article and Bambara sounds like a great language to learn!

I learned a lot of Arabic chat language from Facebook too - it's fun to see how people
really communicate.

From what I remember from my year of learning Bambara, I don't think you need the 'wa' there. But I don't have my textbook with me. I found that in Bamako, most people didn't use the 'wa' anyway - it had been replaced by the French 'est-ce que'. As in 'Est-ce que i be bamanakan men?' instead of 'I be bamanakan men wa?'.

Rutabaga - thanks for the tip about Bambara speakers using est-ce que! Do you
happen to remember any other interesting tips? Perhaps some modern slang? Cool words you
liked? Did you live in Mali for a year or just visit after learning?
