    This is amazing how quickly you pick up the language! In just 8 days on the island, very very impressed. I'm from Curaçao but have been living in Los Angeles for the past 6 years.

      Hi Danilo, thanks a lot for the comment...I'm a strong believer in certain aspects of language learning strategy, I think we can all learn language more effectively than we may think we can

      60% of Papiamentu's basic vocabulary is mixed of (Afro-) Portuguese and Spanish.

    Awesome that you picked Papiamentu in 8 days.
    I've been learning Kabuverdianu myself as a native Papiamentu speaker it helps a lot. However, I havent been grinding lately as you did with Papiamentu. So kudos for your effort, man. Respect.

    as someone who is trying to learn papiamentu(not papiamento important difference is that both are their own unique language) just to broaden my horizons and learn more about the people so intimatly connected with my own regardless of the dark past, this brings me motivation and hope that eventough it may appear daunting it is worth it

    Nice video, I’m from Aruba, and somethings from the dialect of papiamento or rather, papiamentu spoken here is different than the dialect spoken in cura, If I met someone from there on the street we could understand each other if we spoke, but anyway nice video. And you had pretty good pronunciation when speaking

      You are correct in that. It's just that it has not become common knowledge yet to both Kabuverdianu and Papiamentu speakers. That's why I specically made a video on that topic while also including Guinense creole just a lil bit.
      But that's a video for another time.
