Teaching Jamaican

by Veronica Ferguson

Q: Well I'm part jamaican and I just taught myself how to speak jamaican like 5 or 6 years ago. Is it okay to teach my 2 nephews the language even though I somewhat master it....or should I just teach them what I know?

A: It is perfectly fine to teach them what you know. In the meantime try to learn as much as you can so that you teach them even more...
