"An Aprann Pale Kreyól": Haitian-Creole Conversational Group (Central Square)
If you read that title, and thought to yourself, "HUH?!", you are probably not alone! This phrase is written in Haitian-Creole, which when translated into English means "let's learn to speak Creole (Haitian-Creole)".
If you would like to chat it up and learn some phrases with other folks, please join us at the Central Square Branch for an evening of low-effort, but enriching conversational group.
This event isn't a language learning group, but a conversational hour-long session.
