Meet
Evangile Dufitumukiza!

Evangile is a native of Kigali, Rwanda. He is a college student that Steve meet while working in Rwanda as a missionary. In fact, Evangile was one of the first people who translated his English into Kinyarwanda.

Steve recruited him to help promote Dr. Bickmore's YA Wednesday on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media while Steve is doing his mission work.

He helps Dr. Bickmore promote his academic books and sometimes send out emails in his behalf.

You will notice that while he speaks fluent English, it often does look like an "American" version of English. That is because it isn't. His English is heavily influence by British English and different versions of Eastern and Central African English that is prominent in his home country of Rwanda.

Welcome Evangile into the YA Wednesday community as he learns about Young Adult Literature and all of the wild slang of American English vs the slang and language of the English he has mastered in his beautiful country of Rwanda.

While in Rwanda, Steve has learned that it is a poor English speaker who can only master one dialect and/or set of idioms in this complicated language.

Wow! Thanks for the info. Alone and Together is such a good read. I know some teens are facing some harsh realities while growing up like the character. They will learn a lot about this book. It's good to share this book. I will gladly like to come to the event and hope to meet the author and other authors as well. This is also a good chance to meet some fellow book lovers out there. Just keep on inspiring us!

Registration is open for the virtual Summit on the Research and Teaching of Young Adult Literature! Plan on April 21, 2023, 8:30-5:30 CST.
