Hi,
Manahoana,

Are you planning to come to Madagascar for a long time and wish to learn the basics of Malagasy beforehand?
My name is Andry, I am from Madagascar and I can teach you the official malagasy (the Merina dialect, which is the one spoken in central Madagascar) for $20 per hour. If you plan to learn French, I can also provide you with French lessons and give you discount. I have teaching French to three students based in the US and two in Belgium.
In regards to my background, I grew up in Madagascar but have spent time in France, and later on, in Australia for my finance studies.
Please feel free to contact me,
veloma and see you soon,
Andry
