Alice McLean of Chicago won the Wolof phrase book from Vive at the #AATF25 convention! She's a retired teacher and told us that winning this phrase book is a sign she should travel to Senegal! 🇸🇳

We agree! 💚💛♥️

I’m focusing on French language teachers who want to travel with other teachers or their students to Senegal or Tunisia. Ce sont des voyages d’immersion en français pour mieux partager le monde francophone dans nos cours. ♥️💛💚

Vive offers formal professional development credits for French language educators as part of our Senegal experience this summer. Teachers have so much on their to-do lists, so why not combine an amazingly fulfilling experience that also meets your prof needs? #Frenchteacher #travel #senegal

What a beautiful photo!

Katy Wheelock @vivelexperience.bsky.social · Jan 19

Can't wait to see them!

Katy Wheelock @vivelexperience.bsky.social · Jan 19

Agreed!

Katy Wheelock @vivelexperience.bsky.social · Jan 19

Do you have these in French, by any chance? Some coding students at my high school will be working with students in Senegal, and having this in French would be great. I know I can chatgpt or manually translate it myself, but thought I'd check first. Merci!
