SLA is a modern English academy built for French speakers in Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Togo — practical lessons for school, work and travel, taught the way you actually need English, not the way a textbook does.
SirDimada Language Academy helps French speakers master English for studies, work and global opportunities. We combine flexible online classes with real West African context: visa interviews, scholarship applications, call-centre and BPO jobs, import-export trade with Anglophone neighbours, and everyday conversations with family abroad.
Every explanation bridges French and English, so grammar finally clicks.
Learn on your phone between classes, work shifts or family time.
Plans priced in FCFA, built for students and young professionals.
Prepare for study abroad, remote jobs and cross-border trade.
No generic textbook units — every track is built around real situations you'll face in Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Togo and beyond.
