English:
Aminata Thiam, known as Myamy TheAyGirl, is the first female beatmaker in Senegal. She has loved music since childhood, and through hard work and determination, she has broken gender barriers in the music industry. In addition to producing music, she teaches the art of beatmaking, a key element of hip-hop production that originated in the United States. Thanks to beatmaking software, this practice has become popular in Senegal. However, even though hip-hop culture is more accessible, women still face barriers in the industry. The Senegalese hip-hop scene, and music in general, is growing, but conservative ideas about the role of women in society remain a barrier for aspiring female artists and producers.

Aminata Thiam, connue sous le nom de Myamy TheAyGirl, est la première femme beatmaker au Sénégal. Depuis son enfance, elle aime la musique et, grâce à son travail et à sa détermination, elle a brisé les barrières de genre dans l’industrie musicale. En plus de produire de la musique, elle enseigne l’art du beatmaking, un élément clé de la production hip-hop née aux États-Unis. Grâce aux logiciels de beatmaking, cette pratique s’est popularisée au Sénégal. Pourtant, même si la culture hip-hop est plus accessible, les femmes rencontrent encore des obstacles dans l’industrie. La scène hip-hop sénégalaise et la musique en général est en plein essor, mais les idées conservatrices sur le rôle des femmes dans la société restent un frein pour les artistes féminines et les productrices en devenir.

    Not the full audiobook

    I bought this audiobook for $15 this morning, only to find out that the only file you get is chapter 7. The company has not responded to me about why they are not sending an entire audiobook, when that is how it is marketed. I would love this resource if it was the book in full.

    I recommend this product.

    It would be great if not for the fact that when it was translated from French to Spanish, not all the names of people and at time words were translated. So you get Moreau instead of Martinez and at time the word "and" is in French. If you want to take the time to fix it is worth the effort but for the price you should not have to lose time fixing it.

    I recommend this product.

    Great series - Intro to Paris

    Looking for a way to introduce your students to Paris via a story? Like cute little rodents? Novice students need lots of input and repetition and a glossary to help them out? Look no further. There's definitely a bit of repetitiveness in these books but the storyline and curiosity about what happens to Rhumus keeps you reading. The author is very capable and has come up with yet another creative storyline that gets students reading. I particularly liked the 2nd book which had me hooked in wanting to know how the building frustration of the rats would resolve. You won't want to miss adding these titles to your classroom library!

    Interesting and at my level (A1-A2)

    This book was a pleasure to read. I understood most of it, but there were still some words I had to look up. The glossary in the back was very convenient. The story was interesting as well, and I found myself looking forward to seeing what was going to happen. Thanks.

    I recommend this product.

    La lettre

    This was a great novel for my 8th grade French students. It’s compelling and relatable. They love reading that other kids go through similar challenges during adolescence. Highly recommend.
