Y is for Yonderward Into The World Of Speaking Kreyol

I am well yonderway into the world of speaking Haitian Creole and because it is one of my goals for 2019, I have this yird-hunger to conquer what I can of my family's language.

I am done with the yesteryears of hearing people tell me speak English because my Kreyol speaking is not on point.  This year is the year I will yauchle as a Kreyol speaker. 

And so, crazy me coming up with new ideas like I always do, thought it would be easy to learn if I try singing in Kreyol and I attempted to translate a Michael Jackson classic, "Heal the World," into my translation of it from English to Kreyol. 





I am thinking I am getting a better grasp at the pronunciations of the words but that is to be determined. Hopefully I will be even better as the days of 2019 roll along. But it sure is fun yiddling my vocal cords to better my understanding of this language and I feel yagiment because of it!  

LOL! Tell me what you think?

  1. As someone who moved to the US as a baby, I can definitely relate to the struggle of not being able to speak your mother language. I am from Bangladesh and I can speak Bengali, but I cannot read it at all! I would like to learn it someday though.

  5. That is so cool. I think it's amazing when anyone tries to learn a new language or dialect, especially when it's connected to family history.

  7. That's so great learning the language of your family and being able to practice it. It's always hard when it isn't spoken often around you but I am sure you will get it done.
