Senegal language in senegal
Posted: Wed January 2, 2008 08:48 PM UTC
hi everybody!!

although the main non-african language seems to be french, do you think that somebody who speaks english can travel around ok intepentently?
i mean, without tourist companies, so have to communicate with locals for hotel, food, bus etc...
must be a little hard?

many thanks
