Interesting post. I came across this blog by accident, but it was a good accident. I have now bookmarked your blog for future use. Best wishes. Leeann Tweeden.
This site may help you out.
I have searched he net for a book to learn Kweyol… I was born in DA but unfortunately I was never taught my native tongue, but rather English…., anyway I ran across a site that has a Kweyol Dictionary & writing system which may be of help to you all.. it is a St. Lucian site.., hope this is of some help.http://linguafranka.net/saintluciancreole/dictionary.htm
