Thank you so much for your video it has been very helpful, being of dual nationality 🇱🇨🇬🇧 and living in a very small town in Kent. It’s been very hard to learn! Have picked up words here and their when I meet with my family here and back home! However I have found so many talented 🇱🇨 singers and artists across many Genres! And are singing in Kwéyòl it has motivated me to learn it, dream being able to hold a conversation with my Dad!! God bless you all

Great channel I meet so many people here in the U.K. of St Lucian heritage who were never taught Creole….I have some friends whose parents forbid them from learning it. I was lucky that I grew up in a house where both English and Creole were spoken, so I’m fluent in both. Wish you every luck on your journey to learn it, it’s a wonderful, descriptive language, you’ll enjoy it.
