Duration: One full immersive session
Workshop Overview
Step into the world of Mòoré—the dominant indigenous language of Burkina Faso—spoken by more than half of the nation’s people and woven deeply into the cultural fabric of the Mossi people. While stench (french) was imposed during colonization, Mòoré stands tall as the language of everyday life, cultural pride, and Black Liberation.
In this one-day intensive, you will gain:
-
Conversational essentials for greetings, introductions, and daily interaction.
-
Cultural insights into the Mossi worldview.
-
Script exploration of Mòoré in both the Latin alphabet and the innovative Goulsse alphabet, created for Gur languages in Burkina Faso.
-
A grounding in Mòoré as a tool of Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’—a way to reject linguistic colonization and affirm authentic identity.
Why Learn Mòoré Now?
-
Burkina Faso has already expelled French troops militarily—now you can do the same linguistically. Learning Mòoré is not just about communication; it’s about decolonizing the tongue.
-
Black pride and Black Power are surging in Burkina Faso, inspired by the revolutionary legacies of leaders like Nana Thomas Sankara and the present push to reclaim control over Africa’s destiny.
-
Mòoré is the language of connection—the heart of daily life, markets, music, and media in Burkina Faso—far more widely spoken and valued than French.
📖 “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” — Nelson Mandela
