I didn't learn how to write it, I just made up my own way, so don't pick on me ;)

A coworker has been so nice as to introduce Wolof to me. While I appreciate it and continue to learn more from him, he's illiterate in the language and doesn't understand the grammar he says, so I'd like to know if anyone knows any good books on it, online articles, or can help me with the grammar?

Thank you! I've also found some resources of my own. Apparently, I'm not far off, but its Na nga def and not Nanga def. It seems, the way he pronounced it, that there wasn't a word boundary between na and nga. Perhaps I don't understand how words are divided up?

You're talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolof_language#Example_phrases, right?

As for how to divide the words, that Wikipedia article has the following:




In "Na nga def", "na" is glossed as "how", "nga" is glossed as "you-perfective", and "def" is glossed as "do". Don't know if that helps, really.
