The song that starts just after 5 mins to about 6 mins. Cookie for whoever can find a full version.

My 🇩🇲 dad says it sounds like System Band 🇭🇹

What I think I hear:
Ezili O! Ezili Sa! Ezili O! Ezili Sa!
Si'w te move konprann mwen chagrine
Si'w pa (kwè?) Bondye (t?) nou ta priye.

@haitianaute you are my only hope ;)

Konmité Pou Etid Kwéyòl

My study buddy this morning 😻#japanese #kwéyòl #CatsOfMastodon

I’ve started baby steps into learning #kwéyòl (my mothers first language) 🇩🇲

So far it’s a lot easier than #Japanese as I’m mostly learning to speak it and I’ve found a few really good resources on YouTube.

Just a week in but my goal is to start a simple conversation with my mama in February in time for her birthday.

So far switching between #Japanese and #kwéyòl has been OK, which was my primary worry. My brain is coping.

What language would you like to learn?

Loving seeing all the #Haitian #Creole on my Mastodon feed. If I read it out loud, I can *almost* understand. #francophonie #kweyol #kreyol
