I’m Haitian, I didn’t know I could have understood anything but yes I understand most things she said 👏🏽👏🏽

[platteformtv]

Im from central Louisiana and I should understand more than I do, but we weren't taught because the old folks only spoke French around us when they didn't want us to know what they were saying

As a native french speaker from Belgium, I understand maybe 70-80% of what she says!
It's maybe due to the accent, but all to the fact that she uses very old fashioned french expressions like "un petit brin": my grand-ma used to say that, and she was from a little village in the south-east of Belgium!

Love to all the french speakers <3

My mom was from Louisiana and spoke Creole french fluently. She taught me a few phrases and I taught my sons. My great grandparents were from France and they didn’t speak any English that’s why my mom had to learn. I will always honor my mother’s heritage.

I’m from Martinique. Respect aunty, keep speaking Creole.

My grandma and all her sisters spoke Creole. Family is from Elton and Oberlin, Louisiana. Sad I never got to learn. They didn't teach us so they could gossip😂.

My grandma overheard me practicing for a French test once and was shooked. That’s when she told me about our Creole history & that kids weren’t allowed to learn it and were punished for speaking it around adults.

Danm this sound like Haitian-Creole. I understood Literally everything.

I'm Louisiana Creole. My father was born in Texas because they moved, but all of the aunties speak Creole French. I've always wanted to learn it so that I can speak to them in their dominant language. I'm starting to learn this year 😁

I've never been anywhere near Lousiana but living halfway across the world in Mauritius and speaking a local creole, I could understand every single word.

I’m Creole, parents from Louisiana, and this French was my mom’s first language. My dad’s passé blanc, un gens de colour libre, and they got rid of their French language a generation before him, because that’s what “the Black people spoke” - I know, I know... major eye roll. He’s got the French last name, but mom had the language. I took 7 years of French in school, high school and college, but it’s not the same - similar! But not the same. God bless them, they are still together and living in Michigan. I’m married but didn’t change my last name - I’m proud of my Creole heritage!

I'm from Seychelles and we also speak creole. All creole speaking countries will understand each other as it is originated from french. Most of the creole speaking countries has a history of french colonisation.

From St. Lucia, I understood 90% of what she said. And I'm not even fully fluent like the ppl from the rural areas. Wow.

[ozarklisa]

I speak Quebec French and I could easily understand her. A few times I heard the odd word that I didn't understand until I got the context of the whole sentence. Some of her endings of words are similar to Parisian French but with that island sort of twang. Really interesting.

I grew up in Mauritius. I speak Creole and I'm always blown away how our creoles are so similar despite the distance between us. Language is truly organic. Thanks for the video. Maybe I should upload a video so people can see the similarities.

[XactlyCeSe]

This sounds like Haitian Creole. She’s officially Auntie now 😂😂

[marie]

Louisiana born and raised and I’m glad my grandmother taught me some french

[neeleshprince]

Im from Mauritius. I see that louisiana creole is very similar with Mauritian creol..

[A_Cowboy_called_JackRabbit]

I'm from NC, not remotely Creole, but I was drawn by the still they used for the video. To look at this beautiful woman's face, and to hear her speak... I just want to sit beside her, and enjoy the sound of her voice.

I’m not Haitian but African-American; my husband is Haitian because I spent time in Haiti with my mother -in-law ; I learned creole and this ladies creole is definitely similar to Haitian Creole. I understood everything she said.
