Welcome to my RU-vid channel guys😘 So I've received comments/requests from Sierra Leoneans and non Sierra Leoneans. Here is beginner friendly Krio class for y'all... Enjoy
I am getting married to someone from Sierra Leone, so your video is most helpful. We plan to travel to his home, so I would love to speak to his family in Krio.
Just two words can explain the similarities between Jamaican Patois and Krio. (The Maroons). The maroons from Jamaica arrived in Sierra Leone in 1800. According to linguists, they influenced the emergent Krio dialect more than any other settler group. Thus explains their similarities
Well tenki tenki. I feel too old and lazy to learn a new language, but its like I have no choice, I just moved in freetown a week ago, my husband is a sierra leonean. I already speak French, Lingala, English, Portuguese, Chinese, nigerian pijin.. now kreo... well it sounds sweet in my hear sha!
Awww you’re a Linguist then💪🏼. Knowing all those languages shows you’ll be able to learn Krio as well, it’s never too late you know. Btw, welcome to Sierra Leone 💃🏽💃🏽👏🏼👏🏼🤎
The Nigerian pidgin version of The sentences you mentioned in this video would be: 1)I speak pidgin- I dey speak pidgin/I sabi speak pidgin 2)How are you? - how you dey/how body............i thank God oo, you nko/how your side 3)what is your name? - wetin be your name..........my name na ______ 4)where are you from? - where you from come (comot is also used but in a different context like "comot for there" which means "leave there" or 'carry your wahala comot" which means "take your trouble elsewhere") 5)where are you going to? - where you dey go/which side you dey go............I dey go_______ 6)Nigerians no dey talk pleased to meet you o😂😂 or we just say 'take care' or 'later nau' or 'e go be' 7)see you later- we go see later
I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships!
Thanks sis! I have found out my maternal lineage is from Salone. I'll be looking into citizenship this year! Have you thought about making an online course that diasporas could buy to learn Krio? I think you would have a big audience! Shoot me a message if you need ideas getting it set up. :)
Hey congrats darling 🥰🥰 Awww thanks hun. That would be a great idea, I’ve been getting suggestions to do that but setting it up is the problem. So am happy to reach out 🙌🏽🙌🏽 please drop your handle.
This video has been real helpful I have a friend from freetown who I think will be surprised to see what I've learned from your video thanks for the lesson and stay blessed
