Munna n ye Kōr de la pε daminε

Here is a little sample of Bambara, the local language I have been learning. It is a description of why I joined the Peace Corps.

N nana sababu caman bε n ka doņi na kōr de la pε la. N tun b’a fε ka Mali denw yiriwa. N tun b’a fε ka n tubabukan sabati ni n tun b’a fε ka kan sabanan kalan. N tun b’a fε diņε taama. N tun bε yaala n tun bε mεn n ka sō. Kabini san fila ni kalō wōrō temenen fō kalō temenen, n tun bε Aspen la. N tun tε jεn ni baaraya kabini san fila n tun bε baarakε fεli la. N tun ye Concierge ye. Kabini samniya temenen saba, n tun ye Snowboard Karamōgō ye. N b’a fε ka mōgōw dεmε nin ka kalan ye, ka u dege n ka fεn dontow la. N tun b’a fε ka n yεrε kōrō bō ni n ka don ni n bε se kala. N b’a fε ka n bεna ņa.
