Finding resources to learn Kirundi for our children born outside Burundi has become a rather big challenge. Due to the lack of material, more and more parents are giving up teaching their mother tongue to them. This series of books aims to respond to this challenge. The author, husband and father, decided to tackle this problem by creating resources for his daughter born in France and the thousands of other children in similar situation. Enjoy the reading !
