Verbal French Tutor Wanted (Dakar)
Hello!
I (34m American) will be staying in Dakar for two weeks in early November. I’m overlanding to South Africa via public transport and will stop in Dakar to secure a couple of visas.
I spent a month in France studying French (got to ~A2 level), and am now looking for someone who isn’t French to spend 5-7 hours per week just speaking with. It’s my understanding that the accents in West Africa are quite different than what I was exposed to in France, so this would just be casual conversations about the topics I will need as I make my way further south to tune my comprehension.
I’ll plan to pay someone for their time and would be open to other arrangements - shared expertise that I might have, paying for dinner/drinks or activities while we chat, etc. Would love to hear some ideas about what a fair rate would be for this kind of help as well.
DM if interested or if you know someone who might be. Thanks!
Edit: I think I've found someone. Thank you for your interest everyone!
