Ask me anything

Hello, I am native speaker of Trinidad French Creole; I would like to start a blog to help Trinidadians learn our creole since it is now a minority language. How do you suggest I begin?

Hi. I have heard the Trinidadian French Creole and I loved it!
I love your music too!
I guess what you could do is just ...begin.
Grow your blog one day at a time.
Bring out the beauty of that language.
And, most importantly, don't give up.
