Any more lessons man ? I’m from Louisiana born and raised with family from St. Landry and looking to get back to my roots.

How do you say "Today is " in louisiana creole ?

Great grandmother was creole! Spoke the language, all that jazz. Unfortunately, my grandfather died when my mother was a kid. So the language is lost in my family Curious to learn this language and help keep it alive!

All the French-based creoles I've heard or read about so far have one thing in common, that is the disappearance of the letter R at the end of syllables. I guess africans used to struggle with the harsh french R

My grandpa was creole he could speak it, my mom is creole, been trying to find a place to learn this!!!

Your accent is amazing man. Does all of Louisiana spynd like that?

this all sounds familiar and correct. "Sholo" and my grandmother used to talk like this (St Martinville)

😍Amélie😍

I’m from Lake Charles and my grandma and older family members have said of these words and you often hear these phrases in zydeco music. Thank you for this channel! 💖

are Haitian Creole & Louisiana Creole the same? can they be understood by the other party?

Thank you for teaching Louisiana Creole 💯❤️Helps me gets better on speaking and writing. Is there a book with everything in it. My family speaks Louisiana Creole. I understand when they speak it. My family from Breaux Bridge, Lafayette, Cecilia, etc....

Similar with Haitian Creole

Ça té byin interesan. Mo linm ekouté souvnir çilayé! Mèsi pou patajé ça.

Thanks for this. My whole dads side of the family is from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Grew up hearing some creole but never learned much of it myself. Very interested in picking up a little. I wanna surprise my family in Louisiana some day hahaha I got cousins and uncles I never even met still livin in my grandmas old house on the bayou. Just gonna show up one day haha.

I want to learn very badly are you doing lessons for people personaly?

Its like haitian creole

DONT LET THE FLAME DIE OUT!!!!

Can you talk about sentence structure in kouri vini please

Please make more 😢

I love languages. Specifically creoles. I have more familiarity with Cape Verdean Creole (kabuverdianu) and I love seeing the parallels with this creole. Specifically, with pronouns. In the islands of CV, the kriolo can change (kinda like a dialect) drastically between northern islands and southern islands. So, I giggled when I saw the pronoun zot. It's used in the island of Sao Vicente and Santo Antao in CV. It's Bizote, but when speaking fast can sound just like zot. It's so neat. Also, listened to the video... I would be lying if I said I knew something lol

Im from california can i still speak Louisiana creole just what to connect with my afro people

My grandfather is the only one in my family who still knows Louisiana Creole. He tried teaching me all my life, but as I got older, I forgot a lot of it because people teased me for speaking it. I really wish I'd taken better care of those lessons. Thanks to this channel, I want to learn Creole, partly to surprise my grandfather while he's still around and also to share it with my daughter!

Bonjour! Je suis d'origine haïtienne. Il y a des ressemblances entre le Kouri Vini et créole d'Haïti.

I thank you all for this because I'm learning. I will listen to the other episodes of your podcast, for sure. A Guadeloupean currently in London (UK).

Vraiment cette présentation est passionante!

You're resources have been so helpful, it'd be beautiful if you returned to making content on your website

I am eager to learn

Thanks for the lesson.

Why does it say Komen instead of como like you're pronouncing it?

Je suis content d'avoir tombé sur cette vidéo. Ça me fait plaisir de voir des jeunes qui s'intéressent à la généalogie. Tu t'es bien exprimée. J'avais déjà entendu parler de cette guerre avec les Natchez.

Ca c’est bon grandmere. Je dois mange gluten free aussi avec rice flour. Still haven’t figured out ka loy fuel yet. J’aime ces vidéos. Merci beaucoup.

I LOVE THIS, please continue!❤

I am creole but my family lost our language. I would LOVE lessons because I want to pass to my children

prémiyé!

Me and my Grandma have always wanted to learn Louisiana French, because her grandparents spoke it but never taught them. I am excited to now learn and teach my children so that our Heritage and language will live on.

Thank you

I’m a French Acadian from the Canadian East Coast, and we do say : Kwa, Ki, Ayou 😀, Kel, Poukwa, Eske, nouzot, vouzot, but for they, we say Zeu! Yé is singular for us. Also all of the Bonjou, bon laprémidi, comment va lè zafè….I want to go Louisiana some day. The British deported our Acadian ancestors in 1755, all south and some settled in Louisiana.

This is fantastic. Thank you for this! Been hearing bonswa all my life and finally deciding to learn something myself

is there anyway I can contact you about the work on google classroom and just for speaking purposes also.

I definitely appreciate the lesson. St Tammany Parish

Lord Jesus be with me so I can learn to speak kouri vini fluently

Im from Lafayette my family is from st.martinville, Lafayette, duson, Abbeville. My grandparents and great grandparents and aunts spoke kouri vini. My grandparents and great grandparents only spoke kouri vini

Do you know anyone offering La creole lessons?

Wonderful!

My dad stopped speaking and refused to speak it again. My uncle spoke nothing but. So, I didn't know much of the language. When my dad was near death , he reverted to the language because he was out of his head.

I've heard éyou used in Cajun, is this a borrowing from kreyol ?

💪😎mèsi

Beautiful, thank you! Reminds me a lof of Haitian Kreyol!
