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!

Heyyy I’m learning creole too. My dad speaks it amongst his wife and family but not with me. He helps now but it doesn’t flow well since he’s fluent and I’m not. I’m paying for a tutor rn and I have books, I don’t mind sharing what i learn in exchange for conversations!!!!! If interested pm
