Créole Lessons 

11/18/2013

4 Comments

 
This is one of the first times that I have gone to a country with absolutely zero knowledge of its language. I tried to take a few French lessons before I came because surprisingly enough, there is not a Créole teacher in my high school. I learned a few expressions in French but Créole is a bit different. Yesterday when we flew into Port-au-Prince we had a three-hour drive ahead of us to Jacmel. Though I was tired, and the idea of more traveling was not one that excited me, it ended up being a great ride. Not only did we get to see the beautiful mountains and markets of Haiti, but we also rode with our translator Michelle Jean, who gave me a three-hour Créole lesson. I do not remember everything, but there is one term that I am using everywhere I go, "Bèl plas!" which means, "Beautiful Place!"

Anxious to hear about the project and get updates as often as possible. I'm surprised you couldn't find a Creole' tutor in Lambertville.

In awe of your work in Haiti, and look forward to commentary along those busy one-lane roads.
Give my blessings and best to Wynn and others…working at St. Damien Pediatric Hospital and the orphanage.

    Write a letter to the world!

    Communication is art that we encourage. During each stop, the girls we meet form new relationships and want the opportunity to maintain them and make new ones. They want to be heard by a larger audience and they are eager to listen. The Mighty Girl’s Blog is a forum for girls who have Internet access from all parts of the world to log on and say what they want to say. For those who do not have regular access to Internet, but still desire to connect with girls outside their community, we help match them as pen pals through written letters. The Mighty Girl’s Blog is an open yet monitored forum for girls to connect and share with an interesting and interested group of people.
