I’m so glad I found you, my grandmother hasn’t spoken French in 11 years and she’s forgetting it. I’m a Cajun and never really was able to learn Cajun since I didn’t feel the need to learn it. I’m wanting to learn to surprise her ❤️

Excellent. Where can I get your list you read ?

My grandmother is fluent in Cajun French, but she was punished severely for speaking it and does not want to relive it to teach the younger generations. I don't want it to disappear from my family, so I hope to learn from you. Thank you for keeping this alive, and for soothing some of the hurt that the older generations suffered.

hes the coolest guy ever!

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. Je suis une cadienne du nord-ouest pacifique mais ma famille ne parle plus français, alors j'essaie d'apprendre le français de la Louisiane moi-même. Je trouve la prononciation de la lettre 'r' l'aspect le plus intéressant de ce dialecte, et je me demande d'où il vient? Peut-être l'influence des espagnoles en la Nouvelle Orléans?

Can I please have the booklets or paperwork that you offer for the lessons

I’m a quarter Cajun. I’m part French, Spanish, German, and some Corsican and Micmac on the Cajun side of the family. My Spanish ancestors all came from the Canary Islands I never met anyone who had Spanish ancestry from Mexico. I’m half Hispanic my moms family is from Mexico and Peru, so I’m part Spanish-Mexican from my mom.

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH

I researched my family history for over a decade, i was completely obsessed . Joseph Beausoleil Broussard is my 8th GGF. He shows up directly in both sides of my family tree. The Broussard and Landry name is very dominant in my tree .Francois Severin Desgraviers Marceau was also a direct GGF but this side came from France

Mr. Kirby. Do you still teach?

Good day from avoyelles. French speaking parish

Practicing for a cajun based dnd character this is very helpful thank you.

Thank you for what you are doing,May the Good Lord Continue to bless you

im glad that some are keeping Louisiana french alive !!! greetings from Belgium

I’m so glad you’re doing this. Louisiana French is soooo different from the French we learned in school. My family is from all around the Acadian parish. ⚜️⚜️

Merci beaucoup!! Je suis très contente de découvrir tes vidéos!

I am from north Louisiana but moved to Lafayette 10 years ago and fell in love with the Cajun culture and language. I took French in high school and have a basic understanding and can listen to Cajun music and the radio (KRVS) and get the gist of it but have always wanted to meet a local francophone to school me in how people here actually use French, as I noticed there are many examples of it being different from what I learned in school. Your channel is be far the best I’ve found and thank you for taking the time to share your language and culture with us!

Savoie is/was a common name in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Their heritage usually going back to Canada . Many other French family names in that area.

Love the lessons. Love learning.

Hey Kirby. I just found the fb group so I sent mt request. I'm very interested in learning the language

Im learning my creole and cajun ancestornon my moms fathers side.example: one on my ancestor is Germain Doucet who is general from acadia Quebec.I have african french swiss belgian spanish choctaw etc.

Good video! So what's the difference between Louisiana french vs Louisiana creole language ? Because i noticed many Haitian creole words and phrases in the Louisiana creole language.

Very Nice

Like your videos. I saw your Star Wars book. I like Star Wars too

I am enjoying the cajun french lessons. Thanks for doing the videos

Like your lessons very much

Thank you, Kirby, so much for doing this for us lovers of Cajun French.

Kirby, j aime le video. Merci pour tout que ta fait!

Through genealogy I’ve found out Joseph Broussard is my 7th ggf. Then to his son Claude Eloi to the Granger family then to the Pevotos. Most migrated to southeast Texas and married English descendants.

Salut du quebec 🖐

Merci, following

Merci pour ce joli partage. Si vous êtes intéressé par la poésie d'un autre écrivain créole je vous donne ce lien : th-cam.com/video/mLZxuPxewH8/w-d-xo.html C'est un document sur Monchoachi, poète caribéen à la langue flamboyante ancrée dans l'histoire et la terre... Bien amicalement.

Sweet!

Merci

Je suis français poitevin et je connaissais tous les mots que vous avez employés, sauf "atiner". Certains mots sont communs à l'Ouest de la France, d'autres plus spécifiquement poitevins. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo.

Je souhaite que vous enseignez une classe avec ton poésie comme le bas, comme le syllabus.

Dans ton poème "le rêve à l'eau," qu'est-ce que ça veut dire "goiland." Je peux pas trouver ce mot dans la LF dictionnaire. 🤷

Merci beaucoup pour toutes tes vidéos excellentes! Quel cadeau incroyable t'es aprés donner à notre culture !

Thank you for this. My dad's from new orleans and we have cajun roots, but I dont think anybody in our family bothered to learn french. it'll be nice to learn what my ancestors spoke
