Lisonn+-+Lessons

=Lisonn - Lessons= ** Basic Conversation in Patois/Kwéyòl/Creole ** N.B. 1) For the third column on Pronunciation, here are some hints. The sound of  is pronounced like in the French name Je//an//, the sound of  is pronounced like in the French name (and noun) Vois//in//, and the sound of  is pronounced like in the French name Cazab//on//. In summary, whenever the letter  appears in italics after a vowel in the sequences "a//n//", "e//n//" and "o//n//", the letter  represents nasalisation of the preceding vowel and is not to be pronounced.
 * Lesson 1 **

2) The "zh" is pronounced like the letter  in the French //J//ean.

3)  is often pronounced like [w].
