Thanks for these videos, my best friend died recently and he was from Sierra Leone. He was always embarrassed about speaking Krio but I managed to get him to teach me some common phrases like "How de body!".
Ah glady for una teachings, Serena. When da pekins are learning English, we build their site word vocabulary. Ah need you to build me Krio site word vocabulary😊
I’d like to learn some things about shopping at the markets. For example: how much is your bread (topolopa?), I’d like (# of pounds, scoops, pieced). Do I say tanki , Tell God tanki or something else?
Yes, for Liberians, our version is Groundpea Soup. I have a lot of Salonean family, but they grew up in Liberia so I heard very little Krio spoken and little experience with the food. I enjoyed this series. I learned a lot.
@@Serena_Kemba English is the official language on paper lol but there are many dialects/languages spoken. Well over 16. I've read that there's a Liberian Kreyol but I've only known to call it Liberian English or Koloqua. Or that could be something different. However, Liberian Koloqua is what's spoken throughout the country.

why don't you simulate or record a video on natural duscussions in krio language. it would be natural
In Cameroon where we speak pidgin, we say "pehpeh" and wi di chop pepe soup fo hiya, and wata is spelled and pronounced as "wata"
Funny cause we have Accra and puff puff two different things
Love this!!!!! I hear some people back home in New Orleans that still speak Krio.
Hello miss.. I'm from India and your video very helpful for me
Peace sista. Please keep doing these videos. 🇸🇱

I love how Krio sounds like Jamaican patwa. Atleast words like "tomatis" "wata" and "koknut" is how I talk.
Also salt/sohl, Caribbean mothers would say to daughters, gyal guh wash yuh sahl puoak. 😄😄

How cool! Don't some parts of Liberia speak Krio, too? Or is it mostly English?
