I understood part of the dinner conversation and was able to add this comment:
Mës nga ko dem?
(Have you ever been there?)
To which my host mom responded:
Waaw... Degg nga Wolof!
(Yes... and you speak Wolof!)
A surprised and happy look on her face, she was accusing me of speaking the Wolof language! It was only a bit embarrassing to have it called out like that in front of the whole family (9 of us gathered around one common plate, eating) - but I was proud!
Yes, maman, I speak Wolof now ^^
