My French Learning

I need to learn french because the people in Burkina Faso, where our client TanAliz is located speaks French and Moore (their native language), many don't understand English.

At once it was decided that I am going to Societe Tan Aliz, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso - I searched for sites to learn French, I finalized with two references as http://www.bonjour.com/ and http://www.frenchassistant.com/

Here I will write the words / sentences that I learnt in French (Francais) (mind that spelling may not be correct, it will written to match the pronunciation)

bonjour - good morning
bonsoir - good evening

After arriving at Ouagadougou and visiting factory, started to converse with people and started to learn, little faster
bonniue - good night
bien - good
sawa - fine
bien dhormi - Had good sleep
wala - exactly
Oyi - yes

Mr Nabeel, one of my friend in Ambur and now at Tan Aliz has given a learn by hearing by Pimsluer, which is a real good guide in training one to talk french perfect, I started with Lesson 1 of Part I (there are three parts and almost 30 lessons of 30 minutes each)

yaou san sukre - yougurt without sugar
pathronm - boss
lu - water
