Name :   Sandra Panattieri Comment :   This is great! Where in Africa do people speak fon? Name :   Chris Starace Comment :   Hi Sandra- They speak Fon in southern Benin, West Africa. It's a small country between Nigeria and Togo. If you click on Maps- you'll see where it is. Name :   Wayne Luo Comment :   Chris, it is really interesting when you click the head of a people in the group picture and the picture(s) for that particular people pop up. Name :   Pierre Dandjinou (ISOC Chapter, Bénin) Comment :   Kou do azo! That is a great initiative that would get more people to certainly know more on that wonderful (and tiny) place in Africa. I am copying the url of your site to most people so that they visit it and get inspired as well!! Name :   Peter de Groot Comment :   Excellent! An inspiration. I have to learn how to do this too.  Name :   James Comment :   kudo - azo, kabi kudazo, gandaxo Name :   Liz Walker Comment :   Dear Chris, Kwabo! I am so excited. I have been looking everywhere for material that would teach me some Fon. You have provided those of us who hope to visit Benin with a wonderful tool. Thanks so very much. What fun!!! Ahouanou Ka Ka! Warmly, Liz Name :   Anicet Quenum Comment :   Very good work. Name :   Ron Czebiniak Comment :  Chris you did a very fine job on the web site.  I don't know where you find the time; you must not need 8 hours of sleep like me. I haven't had the time to explore it thoroughly but I will. Want to read Rich and Famous on $6 a day. Once again, my compliments on a job well done. Take care and stay in touch. Ron Name :   Ronnie viggiano Comment :   Ahouanou Ka Ka! to you. I haven't opened all of your web site but didn't get any of the messages I got before so it seems like it's working well. Congratulations for being successful in putting the site together.

Name :   Gene Solomon Comment : I just began to look through your site this morning.  Impressive!!! And brings back tons of memories.  I was on a Fulbright Teacher Exchange program in Porto-Novo during the 97-98 school year, teaching at CEG d'Application in P-N.  The sounds of "yovo,yovo bonsoir...." still ring in my ears.  I'm beginning to teach a small section on Africa to my students here in Portland, Oregon, so this site will come in handy to access any (other) information I might need.  I'll return later to look at other parts of your site.  Sincerely, Gene Solomon Name :   Mesmin Kiti Comment :   Bonjour Chris, Votre initiative de créer un site pour enseigner le Fon, la langue de mon pays, m'a vraiment émerveillé. C'est génial. Je vous félicite. Je me ferai le plaisir de vous adresser mes commentaires chaque fois que cela sera necessaire. Mais pour le bref saut que je viens de faire sur le site, je ne sais pas si je peux vous apprendre encore quelque chose. Vous êtes ni plus ni moins un «Fon-nou». Mesmin Name :   Uncle John Comment :   Great site. It must have took a lot of time to put together a website like this. I am still having trouble speaking English, I don't think I could ever learn how to speak Fon! Name :   Bob Altavilla Comment :   Very nice site Chris!! Your efforts have paid off. I am very impressed!! Name :   Charlotte LaBranche Comment :   This is great Chris! It looks like you have put a lot of work into it. I hope all is well. Name :   Petey Comment :   So I finally got to sign the guest book... Your work here is great, my friend. Keep it up. You've told your friends about Benin, but now the rest of the Yovos can know too! Name :   Shelly Ross Comment :   Great site Chris, and kudos for the Benin PR- I've passed the site on to friends and family, and a former teacher of mine. Ciao. Name :   Rena Smith Comment :   Chris - you are amazing! Such a fantatic site! and even in French also. Wow! You will inspire our PCVs now in Benin. Name :   Ballo Ismaël Comment :   Ini oula Bravo pour ton site.Belle initiative que de presenter la lague fon J'aimerai presenter egalement comme toi la langue bambara sur mon site : www.chez.com/malien. ballo_i@excite.fr Name :   Valérie Comment :   Congratulations ! The man I love is Beninese, I'm going to surprise him with my new fon words. Thank you very much for your site Name :   ~Stacey T.~ I was just checking out some web sites that have stuff to do with Angelique, and i was amazed to find one on Fon! I've been really interested in her language since I got into her music... I've picked up on various words, I've even tried learning some Yoruba and tried using that to translate! They're very similar, so I could somewhat get the rough idea of songs, but having actual Fon to use is so much better! Your website has been very helpful.. especially that grammar section. Most African languages have complicated grammar, you need to know all the little rules before you can attempt to learn the language. Your site is great, keep up the work!
