How Africans are changing the French language

I picked a good time to begin learning French

Can't wait to add slang and make it my own, good of them to do the same.

The French are lazy with the language like most Europeans.

Shows with names like "Dakar fait sa comedy" ("Dakar does comedy"), "Fest' rire" ("Laugh Fest"), "Afrique du rire" ("African Laugh") are springing up across the capital Dakar

Same story, but reported/dubbed in English

Why are black people so happy to nest in other people’s languages? How about learning an African language and spreading that

Dope read... thank you for posting

Kind of a deviation... but its concerning how the US is re-imposing itself ideologically onto the World's youth through all this English language media(tik tok youtube) ive been fortunate enough to have been a few places, and I've engaged young children who aint been nowhere near the US want stupid shyt like Pop Tarts...Walmart... cheetos etc...that's the silly part...just consider what other ideas are being implanted though. The fallout of this will last generations.... thats a whole extended convo itself...

Now, France ain't got that kinda media reach.. but maybe these Francophone Africans can use French as a medium to steer the world in their(our) favor? Just a thought

Maybe I'm starting with a Euro language first because it's my first time.

Maybe I'll add Twi later down the road when I begin traveling more.

Hopefully you have learned an African language already and begun spreading it yourself.
