A wonderful country also known under the name of the Great Red Island because of its red soil. It's located in east Africa & is easily recognizable because of its rather interesting shape and size. Madagascar's residents are called Malagasy people. Not only they're great, but they speak a very beautiful & melodic language also named Malagasy! Some French is also spoken there. It's time for language teaching: 'Salama/manahoana' = 'Hello' The island contains the famous black and white striped lemur, the Maki Catta (king Julian), along with many other known species of wildlife. But there aren't any lions, zebras nor elephants on the island, unlike what is shown in the famous movie... Also, fun fact: the Maki Catta is the country's official emblem ! And though the media portrays the country as poor, out of reach and devoid of any modern life, there's more than that. Trust me, you have to discover how mesmerizing this gem is by checking out a National geographic documentary if you haven't yet ! *side note: I have some roots from there ;-)
