Mayanku

Mayanku is a Medumba narrative based on the classical figures of the Mayanku - the person who doesn't know his or her measurements. The story is built on the star system, and on TikTok. The goal of the narrative is to help the learner ingest some patterns of the Medumba language, and at the same time learn some basics of the culture: learn Medumba through one of its most recognizable classical tales. Mayanku is one in a series of stories that constitute Bangangte V: Ba'Fun Medumba. Or Advanced Medumba.

Mayanku uses a fully immersive teaching method. Like all the book of the Bangangte series, it is a tool for the contemporary Medumba learner who is attuned to the social media, to the connectivity of the internet, and at the same time yearns for the intimate relation that a mother tongue or that a language makes possible. These books are trendy. They are culturally rooted, and are composed for young people, young adults and adults who would like to learn to speak, read, write and understand Medumba. They are mostly also available as exercise and audiobooks. They sometimes have teaching materials attached to them.
Enjoy Mayanku!
