MAIS, SA C'EST QUEQUE CHOSE QUAND MEME Cajun French is still widely heard throughout Louisiana. However, the survival of this language-spoken by the descendants of the exiled Acadians-has by no means been assured (it was even illegal to speak it at one time), and even today the teaching of Cajun French in schools is a controversial issue. Now, the publication of Conversational Cajun French I, the first systematic approach to teaching the language, makes Cajun French accessible to those born outside Cajun families. Authors Randall Whatley and Harry Jannise, Cajuns who speak fluent Cajun French, originally developed this handbook for a series of informal conversational Cajun French classes for the LSU Union in Baton Rouge. As an introduction to Cajun French, the book is extremely practical. Conversational Cajun French I focuses on everyday words and common phrases that can be understood everywhere the language is spoken, despite the various dialects and subdialects. It teaches the Cajun words for the days and months, holidays, parts of the body, number, clothing, colors, rooms of the house and their furnishings, foods, animals, fruits and vegetables, tools, plants, and trees. In addition, there is a section of useful expressions and a list of traditional Cajun names. Although the book is designed to be used in conjunction with tapes, * a pronunciation guide enables even the beginning student working alone to learn enough to converse with Cajuns or at least enough to stay out of education and reference,foreign language,foreign language dictionaries and thesauruses,foreign language fiction,foreign language learning,foreign language study,foreign language study and reference,foreign languages,french,humanities French, Pelican Publishing Company, Incorporated<
