In Fon culture, education is highly regarded, and parents often sacrifice much to ensure their children receive an education. Traditional education systems were based on apprenticeships and storytelling. However, colonialism and Westernization led to the adoption of formal school systems.
As an intermediate Fon learner, it is essential to know the cultural nuances of the language. Understanding the cultural perspective of education in Fon-speaking regions will give you greater insight into the Fon lifestyle and values.
To improve your Fon Vocabulary, you can also use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions!
