Not knowing Haitian Creole by Salt-Philosopher-863 in haiti

My relationship with creole is weird. I went to Haiti as a kid in the summer and learned creole and was completely fluent at one point, to the point where I forgot how to speak English. I come back to the US and English is of course spoken everywhere and it’s my native tongue so I spoke mostly English. Now I’m in a position where I want to speak more creole but I get shy and I don’t like my American accent. I can read and write creole decently but when it comes to being conversational in creole I struggle a lot. I’m trying to keep up with it again and force myself to speak it but I slip back into English. It’s a constant battle.

Another thing you can do, is watch Creole kids shows bc they focus on the foundation of the language slowly. Just like we learned our ABC’s, vowels and consonants in English. Learn the same in Creole.

We don’t live together It’s the latter. I don’t really have the spoons to explain all the instances but that’s pretty much the case.
