“I would like to meet you face to face and visit your hometown”

Mwen ta renmen rekonet ou fas a fas

These phrases were suggested by a reader’s question on our ASK ANYTHING page.

The first pronunciation is how you would say “I’d like to visit your hometown” in Haitian Creole. Notice the word zòn which more general than vil or vilaj (city or village). Zòn could signify neighborhood if you are talking about a city or it could mean a region if you are talking about the mountains.

We hope these examples are helping your Creole pronunciation. Enjoy!
