DeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering i'm a 17 year old girl. I am haitian myself but i forgot how to speak the language when i moved away from the haitian side of my family. I remember some words and phrases but i really wanna relearn the language and i can't find any good videos and i heard you had them but i can't find your's either .. Can you help me?
You can find some video on my youtube channel by clicking on the links AUDIO/VIDEO RESOURCES on the left side of the screen. I also have a lot of audio materials too. But perhaps it's a good idea to start with local Creole class so that you may have to support of an instructor and other classmates to practice with.
DeleteKeep it up.
Hello I know I'm a little late on this page but I wanted to know the meaning of the word "woo". From the context I always here it in it sounds like a spell or magic but I want to clarify before i go and say it in public. Please and thank you !
