Re: How To Speak Patois
Hmmm....well you're not alone, brnxkda. I was born in Jamaica, raised in NY. What words do you want to learn? Does anyone know what the word "tallah-wah" means?

Yes the site is good, its interesting to see someone explain it, and the method to the madness,
but if I didnt know it from home I would have a hard time with that site,

Re: How To Speak Patois
I am trying to learn patois as well. I'll be talking to my friend and he'll break out in patois. Some things I can decipher others I'm like huh. I he doesn't have the patience to try to teach. I would love if someone could walk me through things. trinalynne83@yahoo.com
