Oct 27, 2008 - all the other nations does the same thing brownsuga78. she travels she's not stupid. sorry

brownsuga78 Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - its unproffesionel, if its privite yes, but not on a interview or a movie. Sorry i travel too, im haitian and i speak 5 languages so that don't have nothing to do with travel comeone. And sorry i don't no other nations that do it like that. It would be better if they will use subtitle, so those that don't understand créol or english will just read it

brownsuga78 Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - im not talking only about this interview its about haitians mixing créol with other languages, its not even mixing its talking 2 3 languages in on. Speak Créol,French or English.

Oct 27, 2008 - and i didnt say she's stupide ok.

Oct 29, 2008 - I don't know about mixing three languages in one conversation, but I know it's difficult for me sometimes to solely speak kreyol. Even when I'm talking to my uncle in Haiti. I was born and raised in Haiti till I was 13. I think it has to do with the level of connection and involvement one has with his/her culture. I barely listen to Haitian music, I no longer go to Haitian churches, and many more things that distance me from kreyol so when it comes time to, I get to choke a little...kreyol

restlesman Says:

Oct 29, 2008 - But that doesn't mean I'm less Haitian. I've rep everywhere I've been around the world.

brownsuga78 Says:

Oct 29, 2008 - I understand that,look im haitian growing up in switzerland i mean wehn i talk créol i have put like swiss german in it, but at work, it won't be possible to put french in swiss german. Please understand me what i mean is private
