My grandad is from New Orleans an of creole descent I’m so happy to find a channel that can teach creole . He knows only very little
Thank GOD for this channel! Please keep posting lessons.
I was never taught creole by my father. I always wanted to learn
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! 💖
this all sounds familiar and correct. "Sholo" and my grandmother used to talk like this (St Martinville)
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.
Louisiana creole and Louisiana french are so similar. We say "Bon matin" like Canada, but france doesn't use that phrase for good morning. Don't give up on your practice, you won't regret it.
@@louisineseI find that fascinating. This is why I think linguistic diversity is important and also can be beneficial because it reflects the cultural values and views of the people in that specific place. I've heard quite a few North American anglophones say that they find it easier to understand and speak the Canadian and Louisiana varieties of French than that of France. There's a shared culture for speakers of languages in North America for sure.
I LOVE THIS, please continue!❤
This is fantastic. Thank you for this! Been hearing bonswa all my life and finally deciding to learn something myself
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
Who is your family in Duson?
WEEKS ISLAND- BORN AND RAISED- then NEW IBERIA
Im from california can i still speak Louisiana creole just what to connect with my afro people
Yess of course
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.
Heyyyyy we may be Kin lol❤
Ma'am, Stop lying to yourself and to these people in this video's comment section! Because those words that you wrote are words of Afrakan languages not the French language. So how did y'all Arcadian French people get Afrakan languages...words in your language too?!
@@DaTruthTeller504 No, she's not lying. Those words are of French origin. Most Louisiana and Haitian Creole has French Vocabulary over a West African syntax. kwa=quoi? ki=qui? ayou= a ou? eske = est-ce que? Nouzot, vouzot come from vous autres and nous autres. All these are French in origin.
@@JLDReactionsGood points!. I also remember your channel. How is your language learning (or maintenance) going now?
You're resources have been so helpful, it'd be beautiful if you returned to making content on your website
I definitely appreciate the lesson. St Tammany Parish
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
Please keep making these 😭
why?
Your accent is amazing man. Does all of Louisiana spynd like that?
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.
bonjour de Suisse
merci pour cette leçon ...votre créole proche de notre français
Mèsi pou ça!
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....
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 am eager to learn
DONT LET THE FLAME DIE OUT!!!!
Beautiful, thank you! Reminds me a lof of Haitian Kreyol!
Yeah the French base and African influence is strong
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.
Its like haitian creole
I'm trying to join your class how do I find them. I'm from breach bridge, la

are Haitian Creole & Louisiana Creole the same? can they be understood by the other party?
I've heard éyou used in Cajun, is this a borrowing from kreyol ?
ina boukou de similarites ent kreyol et pi franse lwizyanne. n'a pa un lang nome cajin.
Similar with Haitian Creole
i seen some people pronounce “in” in words such as bon matin as “ma-tan” with more of an a sound but you pronounce it with more of an u or uh sound is this a dialectal thing?
I pronounce Matin more as Ma-tain in normal speech, pronunciation is more of a regional aspect
@@rouganou2651 ok cool so both are acceptable? do you know which region does what?
Do you have an email address? I would l have been looking for private lessons for years
Same here
Why does it say Komen instead of como like you're pronouncing it?
French has soft and a lot of times silent consonants at the ends of many words and kouri vini seems to have carried some of those spelling traditions. Also 'en' tends to have a sound more like "on" in english or "ohn" with a soft 'n' and depending on the speaker no 'n' sound
