I’ve actually been gobbling up Jim Leger’s tutorials and my husband and daughter are giving me the Cajun Self Taught bundle package for my birthday this month. I’m so excited. My mother is fluent in CF but we never learned as children (what a pity). I don’t want my mother to pass away one day and my family’s heritage lost. I currently live in Minnesota and there is noone to talk to here. My husband and daughter are not interested in learning since they are true northerners. My mother was very surprised when I called her and I had made up a couple of sentences regarding current events in our family. She understood most but corrected the rest. It is really bringing my long distance relationship with my Mama alot closer and helps me with being lonesome by just hearing the CF spoken. I CANNOT THANK JIM ENOUGH!

My grandmother was sent home from school because she only spoke French. The state spent tons of money and effort to eradicate the language only to now be trying to save it by teaching it in school. Pretty sad.

Fortunately, I have a number of Gen X friends who are fluent. I hope they are passing it on to their own children, as it was passed to my mother by my grandmother.

It was my privilege that my son sent me the link to Jim Leger’s Cajun tutorial. I have learned so much by listening to his lessons and attempting to get his tests all correct.

Jim, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for spending hours upon hours teaching nouns, pronouns, and the correct way to speak our Cajun French language.

I am building my native vocabulary slowly but surely by going to your website. Without the knowledge and patience you give the world, how would anyone know our secret language.

Thank you once again.

Judy
