WAY TO BE CAPTAIN BUSYPANTS.

WAY TO BE IN AMERICA AGAIN, DEAR.

*sets theme*

this plurk seems a little one sided

haha, she just landed recently

yessssss i heard

i will keep you company until then!

awwww

I AM HERE! and hungry. but too scared to go out, hahaha

this city is intense

hah yeahhhhh. it's different i hear. but hey, you might be able to use from french if you go to some more ghetto areas of town!

or nicer..i cant remember which way it went

yeah i want to go to the french quarter thinger!

don't they speak creole?

it's a french dialect

there's a reason there's a city there called baton rouge

maybe!

i havent heard any french yet, but I'm hoping to head to the french quarter tomorrow with my roommie

creole from what i understand is pretty hard to parse even for native french speakers

wikipedia says it's a stable language

french as a 'substrate' with african, amerindian and english words

rather that's hatian creole, lousiana creole is a derivative of haitian

hrm, neat. GO INVESTIGATE, KINA

lol i will!

i was going to say everything chriska said about creole lol

one of the cashiers at work speaks it...and everyone just assumed he spoke french, but when people try and speak to him en francais he

doesn't usually understand what they're saying

awwww poor guy

well he speaks english too lol

i had a Haitian friend at college and he spoke creole and french AND english but i couldn't understand him in any language

bahahaha. is haitian french similar to north african french?

hatians speak hatian creole

i guess it includes african words

mixed dialects hurt my brain. it's bad enough understanding the super southern ("suthun") people here.
