Learning African Languages
"I created the African Languages Universe for a proud, playful, and accessible reclaiming of our languages in homes and imaginations, from ages 7 to 77" (Diaddou Cissé, founder of Univers des Langues Africaines)
A bridge between generations, continents, and languages
Since its beginnings, Univers des Langues Africaines, an independent publishing house, has had a simple yet powerful dream: to bring African languages to life in homes, schools, games, and everyday conversations. This dream grows with every word passed on, every language rediscovered, every child who speaks their first words in Soninke, Lingala, Bambara, Wolof, Pulaar...
Today, Univers des Langues Africaines has become:
an educational, accessible, and multilingual publishing house,
a brand committed to intergenerational transmission,
a lively, playful, and reality-connected learning space.
Children of the African diaspora, regardless of their level in Soninke, Wolof, Bambara, Lingala..., all face the same issue: the lack of books in their heritage languages tailored to them. Univers des Langues Africaines was born to fill this gap by offering simple and fun books and supporting them in learning African languages. Whether you're a minor, an adult beginner, a parent wanting to pass on their language to their child, or an African language enthusiast, Univers des Langues Africaines has a program suited to your needs!
At Univers des Langues Africaines, we offer:
conversation manuals or guides (Bambara, Lingala, Soninke, Wolof, Pulaar...); the books consist of lessons accessible to everyone, with exercises, reviews, and audio to easily speak the language.
games for children; tools adapted for kids to gently discover African languages.
online language courses, tailored for adults and children, interactive and immersive; they allow you to master an African language while discovering its cultural richness.
In short: manuals, games, and online courses—everything you need to learn (or relearn) an African language, at any age and at your own pace.
LAfrican languages deserve more than just a memory: they deserve to be lived, spoken, and loved.
