These 2 teachers are writing on the board. Mr. Traore (left) is writing in French and Mr. Coulibaly (right) is writing in Bamanankan (an African language.) Children in Ouelessebougou learn both languages in school. Try saying these words in Bamanankan (see pronunciation helps in picture 1 of this section.) Bilakoro means boy. Npogotigi means girl.
