[@karenbarnes3506]

I am getting married to someone from Sierra Leone, so your video is most helpful. We plan to travel to his home, so I would love to speak to his family in Krio.

[@antoinettegeorge7267]

Oh wow glad you find it helpful. And all the best with my Salone brother 👏🏼❤️

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

Wow Krio spelling is so much better than English, no silent letters! Nice lesson

The Nigerian pidgin version of The sentences you mentioned in this video would be: 1)I speak pidgin- I dey speak pidgin/I sabi speak pidgin 2)How are you? - how you dey/how body............i thank God oo, you nko/how your side 3)what is your name? - wetin be your name..........my name na ______ 4)where are you from? - where you from come (comot is also used but in a different context like "comot for there" which means "leave there" or 'carry your wahala comot" which means "take your trouble elsewhere") 5)where are you going to? - where you dey go/which side you dey go............I dey go_______ 6)Nigerians no dey talk pleased to meet you o😂😂 or we just say 'take care' or 'later nau' or 'e go be' 7)see you later- we go see later

Its easy for Jamaicans to understand Krio our patois (patwah) is similar

[@antoinettegeorge7267]

Sierra Leoneans have a lot in common with Jamaicans 👌

[@dandesonshowers9260]

Just two words can explain the similarities between Jamaican Patois and Krio. (The Maroons). The maroons from Jamaica arrived in Sierra Leone in 1800. According to linguists, they influenced the emergent Krio dialect more than any other settler group. Thus explains their similarities

[@JohnMooreBarbados]

Antoinette, this video tutorial will really come in handy for travellers knowing they will be able to communicate with other Sierra Leoneans.

Thank you

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships!

Thanks sis! I have found out my maternal lineage is from Salone. I'll be looking into citizenship this year! Have you thought about making an online course that diasporas could buy to learn Krio? I think you would have a big audience! Shoot me a message if you need ideas getting it set up. :)

Hey congrats darling 🥰🥰 Awww thanks hun. That would be a great idea, I’ve been getting suggestions to do that but setting it up is the problem. So am happy to reach out 🙌🏽🙌🏽 please drop your handle.
