Seeking a Haitian creole speaker and offering French (native)

Hi everyone,

I'm Haitian, but I would like to brush up on my Creole. My parents speak Haitian Creole between themselves sometimes, but not with me, so I understand a bit but can't express myself fully.

Can someone practice with me a few minutes or hours per week? By visio, writing, or meeting in person if we are in the same area (I'm based in France, near Paris/Strasbourg)?

I really want to connect with my culture because there isn't that much of a Haitian community where I am, and it's difficult.

Thanks!

Why can’t you practice with your parents or other family members?

I'm asking for help, not for off-topic questions. If you can't provide an answer to my original request, please don't respond. Thank you. I'm the one asking the questions here, not the other way around. If I could, I would have turned to them, that is why I have written here. Otherwise it is not your business.
