Customer Reviews

A stitch!

This book is a stitch! I read it because it's funny. My kids ask for it so they can hear me stumble through Cajun. There is a glossary at the back to explain Cajun words that we don't know.

Excellent

The audio cassette was excellent. I am a native of Georgetown, sothis is nothing new to me, however, I am trying to introduce my two small children to the sound of Gullah and they love it. I asked my daughter did she understand what was being said and she stated, "yes Mom, it's just english spoken with a dialect." I, as well as my family really enjoyed this. Please give us more. Thank you.
