To Fuzzybear: it’s not too late or you to learn (creole or french) lol, but i don’t think that creoles from louisiana and me can understand each other if i speak french !! i don’t even understand haitian creole (too complicated), but i understand creole from french west indies (guadeloupe, martinique, can’t say it in english sorry); If I go to louisiana, i’ll speak english lol it’s more simple for everyone !!

Well there similar,but as with any language, there’s always differences,Even in Louisiana,there may be some differences between North and South.Unfortunately for me,I didn’t learn either one;being raised in Los Angeles and all
