MOOC "Malagasy Language Contact Kit": registration opens on February 23!
The "oriental language contact kit": Malagasy
This online course, open to all, enables any beginner to learn the Malagasy language. Very short, practical dialogues, accompanied by grammar points and simple vocabulary, enable you to acquire the words and automatisms needed for everyday exchanges: introducing yourself, booking a hotel room, communicating for travel (buying a seat, negotiating a price,...), placing an order in a restaurant and buying objects or food.
With a different lesson every day, it also features a discovery of daily life in Madagascar as well as a cooking recipe every week!
