Wolof and French

Say you're visiting, oh, a school in Senegal. You want to strike up a conversation with a student in Wolof.

You could say:

Which means "Show me your notebook and book."

Anyone familiar with French will recognize the words for "notebook" and "book." Mixing the two languages isn't unusual, especially in a school setting where the students learn French (Senegal is a former French colony). So if you're stuck for a Wolof word, and you know French, you could always try it.
