On this Channel I will teach you how to speak Jamaican Patois/ Jamaican Patwa/ Jamaican Patwah/ Jamaican Creole/ Jamaican Language.
I take an elementary approach to the language. I focus on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I also talk about different aspects of the Jamaican culture that affects the language.
Please join the class if you want to learn Jamaican Patwa! Lets have some fun!

Question, Empress Shan: Would you agree that most if not all 2nd and 3rd persons pronouns are used when the person(s) referred to is/are also Rasta? In my overstanding I and I originates from the idea of "I and the comunity and oneness of/with RastafarI", so, I would be surprised if the pronouns would be used to talk about people outside of the Rasta comunity.
Mek mi aks ya dis in Patwa. :) Mi a wonder if da word "wichpaat" or di shorter "whichaat" originated in di fact that Jamieka is split into parishes. Meaning that "whichaat" came from "whichpaat a mi Island ya come fram?" Wha ya tink? Greetings from Switzerland! Miss Jamieka nuf! Haffi get back de soon!
love it
yes i knew where its at, im ok wih geography
Shan youre awesome
I and I comes from expressing ones self in connection with Jah as in: I [myself] and the most High [Jah] because english people drop the H sound from words with consonants and vice versa , and that carried to Jamaica. Idren , is brethren but attaching I , meaning : of Jah , or like you are of Jah so youre an Idren instead of bredren
theres alot of similarities in the U.S. and UK im from the southern U.S. and we say howdy [oudi] as in hi or hello
ive noticed amongst African American friends sometimes T becomes K , and Ask becomes Aks, but the T pronounced as K is rare here, and Ive only heard older folk say it such as : Vomit becomes Vumik, love your lessons, peace
really respect u for this, always loved Jamaican culture, I understand a small portion
i aced it, got everyone

You're a great teacher😊
Nice one
As Jamaican who visited Tokyo for 4 days I can confirm they were super nice to me. It was my first and only time in Japan, and I met a gorgeous girl within 2 hours and spent the next 2 and half days with her. Crazy how open they were. Even the cops were nice enough to take pictures with me.
Where are you Shan, you were the one who introduce me to Patwa
In my country, Costa Rica, the official language is Spanish. However, in the province of Limón which is located on the caribbean coast of the country, over 80% of the population is black...English and Patois (also called Mekatelyu by many people from Limón) are spoken in that region, since they descend from Jamaicans that immigrated in the beginning of the 1870 decade. Culture, food, music, vibes are pretty similar to Jamaican manifestations. By the way, we also use the word "salado" (salty) as a costarican slang for someone who has bad luck.
Du and mi a beg yu have stronger meaning than please
"We say man....the humon male" 😂

Mrs Shan you Jamaican me crazy, so gorgeous
What you're teaching is true, culture use it often in his music,I hope you know him?
So, all I get from here, Jamaican Patois is like the uneducated English. Same we do in German... Vater become Vadder, das become dat, was become wat...and it all sounds very similar, like a family dinner, some speaks with food in his mouth, some are right drunk, some still tired and don't want to waste words....
Nice
