Curaçao Insider & Papiamentu Teacher! Join me on island adventures & learn the Papiamentu language from a local! Let's explore Curaçao & learn Papiamentu together!
I finished your course - an interesting evolution of a mix of languages - heavy emphasis on Portuguese by the way. I have written some poems and songs in Papiamenntu/o - would you be available to correct my grammer?
Interesting you didn’t mention Portuguese. Papiamento derives from Portuguese. Dushi=doce, bom dia, boa tarde, boa noite. Quanto custa. Comida ceroula. Onde fica o banho? Ajuda-me… see almost the same..
Yes, it does sound similiar. That ties back to the history of slavery. Enslaved people were kidnapped from West African shores and brought to the region. Brazlian Portoguese and Papiamentu were the new languages created when they arrived. Let me know if you want to learn more Papiamentu, I just created a course.
The similarities exist, however there are also differences. I struggle with understanding Portuguese. I wonder if it's different the other way around. Do you have an interest in learning more Papiamentu? There's a new course out, made by me
With all my due respect to this beautiful lady, some of the words are much closer to portugues and/or italian. Sin lugar a dudas hermosa mistura, obrigado
Yes. There are a lot of similarities between Portuguese and Papiamentu. When you dig deeper, it's like the difference between Spanish and Portuguese. You can understand the subject but not the details. Interested in learning more Papiamentu?
@@SheediaJansen Sure!. I am indeed interested in dispearing in a place as beautiful as your island and never look back, obrigado, gracias por alegrarme el dia
You're more than welcome to come visit. We would love to have you. In the meantime, I did create a course where you can learn more Papiamentu. You can find out more info here: learn.papiamentucourse.com/
It has its similarities, however it's a whole different language. The differences can be compared to the difference between Spanish and Portuguese. Any interest in learning more Papiamentu?
❤️❤️❤️I’m truly amazed at how Curaçao, Aruba & Bonaire are the “same place, same people” as where I’m from, Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 🇬🇼🇬🇼. Now, I wanna visit these beautiful islands, mainly Curaçao 🇨🇼.
@@foroyah4042 makes sense. I did create a course that's beginner friendly but also for those that are a bit more advanced. You can check out what's in it and see if it's a good fit 👉🏽 learn.papiamentucourse.com
Thank you so much. In Curaçao we speak PapiamentU which is a bit different than the one spoken in Aruba which is PapiamentO. The U and O at the end makes a difference. Would you like to learn more PapiamentU?
Oh great. I just dropped a new video yesterday. All about something new I created related to Papiamentu. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uHNlUDVMqF8.htmlsi=1XAYQjrw7HszCO1F
Love love your video . Thank you so much . I hope YT and other language online courses can explode with teaching courses for this beautiful language . #curacao
Yes, it has its similarities. However it's a completely seperate langauge and a lot of Spanish speakers won't be able to fully understand it. They'll just have an idea of the subject. Interested in learning more Papiamentu?
I lived in the Netherlands for quite a while and I am fluent in Dutch. Are there a lot of locals who speak Dutch cause I can communicate with them if they do speak Dutch.
Curaçaoans are linguistic experts. We really can communicate in 4 languages. Dutch is one of the 4. Do you have any interest in learning more Papiamentu?
My wife and I visit Aruba annually .... I would love to take a class while visiting that teach the language for beginners/tourists. Any recommendations that are in the vicinity of the Devi Phoenix complex? Also, are there any good textbooks that you would recommend that defines and shows how to conjugate the verbs in the language.?
Sorry, I'm not from Aruba. This is Papiamentu from Curaçao. It's similar though. I did create an online Papiamentu course recently. If you're interested, let me know.
You forgot to say that portuguese people also understands papiamento because you use a lot of portuguese words as we had spoke at the 16th and 17th centuries. 🙂
Yes, they can have an idea of the subject that's being spoken about. However, I from my experience it's a stretch to say that Portuguese people "understand Papiamentu". Also, I do think it's beautiful that our roots are connected to Portuguese by way of West Africa.
