Cool

This app can definitely have a lot more. I think if you link up with someone like Jourdan Thibodeaux in Lafayette he can add the whole shabang! This is a great start though. We need to get these things documented somehow. With an actual knowledge base and better layout I would pay for something like this.

I like the app features!

So I grew up always hearing someone say these words and phrases and I don’t know how to spell them so if I was to try to type it into a sentence, I would be absolutely confused. So when I’m looking at the way it’s properly spelled I’m like what the heck is that; but then when I listen to the pronunciation, I’m like that’s exactly what my grandmother was saying!! It’s mostly nice for me because that’s what she told me it meant and all my grandparents are dead now so it’s really cool to see how it’s supposed to be spelled. Then see the words my grandmother used to say to be able to learn how to spell these things. Now I can become someone who’s not just someone who can say the words I can also write them down or put them in a sentence or make up statement and know exactly what it says, and I know that the way we pronounce it has our own accent, which is why it was always hard for me to put it together with proper French because we use the older dialect than the proper French! It makes it really really hard to learn from the words I remember with proper French spelling and phrasing and word usage. I love this app!

Needs more

Love the app needs more words and phrases

Brings back memories

This brings back so many memories… my grandparents use to speak Cajun French when they didn’t want us grand bebes to understand what they were saying… my granny would teach me a few words but I used to love hearing my grandparents speak in French!!!!

Ugh

I really hope the developers get to see this. So I tried to like this game really, truly I did. My dad is fully Cajun French and says most of the words are wrong. And you don’t have Acadia, and that’s a really important word for Cajuns. Also I just hate how I can’t get lessons on the words, like 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

My 2 cents

Good start . I enjoy this . Please , no offense meant . Bonsoir is good evening. Bon nuit is good night . Opposum is Raton du bois. Toad is crapoud . Tree frog is grenouille . Dragon fly is zirondelle but also known as cigale du bois or cigale de nuit depending on what part of the state your from . Bread pudding is pain Purdue. Good luck y’all ! Thanks

Misinformation

Some of the translations are wildly incorrect.

The voice recordings really make this app

My maw maw and paw paw died a few years ago and it’s important to me to carry on my cajun heritage because it was important to them. The voice recordings remind me of my grandparents and make me feel like I’m home.

Best Gift

I only have distant Cajun roots. My grandmother knew Cajun when she was a child but has long since forgotten it.

My husband is a true blue Cajun. His grandmother only spoke Cajun, he dad knows it but doesn’t have anyone to speak it with, and my husband knows some.

I came here to learn it for a number of reasons. To speak it and see my grandmother’s eyes light up, To make my husband proud, and to give the gift of a beloved life my father in law used to have.

This language means a lot to us and I can’t thank you all enough for having built this.

Mais this is the best thing I’ve ever had since Evangeline Maid with ma Mimi’s Catfish Courtbouillon

Look, let me tell you a lil somethin’ baw, this thing right here got me wantin’ to learn me somethin’ while I am on days off. Now instead of hittin’ Wawee’s by dat river, I sit on my couch wit a natty light in my consons learnin’ what my Parian used to yell at me when he was gettin’ the belt. Cook you some rice, Learn you some Cajun, and comme ca!

Great app!

I grew up hearing many of these phrases but never understood what some of them meant. Some I’ve never heard before. Thanks for making this app!

So easy even a Couyon can use dat.

I love how it says age appropriate for 9 and up. My grandfather from Grand Coteau was forced to learn English at 9šŸ˜†. Great app and fun to use. We gonna pass a good time cher.

Cool I guess?

Doesn’t really teach you proper pronunciation. I hear people really trying, then people with ā€œAmericanizedā€ pronunciations, lazy and unclear pronunciations, then even some laughing. It seems to be mixing dialects and doesn’t seem to be a comprehensive source.

Not free on android

Why is this app not free on android??

Want more

We need more phrases. This is great.

Oo Ye Yi😢

Downloaded this app thinking I could type in a phase in English to have it translated to Cajun French like it is shown in App Store, only to be disappointed because all they have are a few word translations.

Love it

Please add more phrases and words!

Awesome App

I love this app it helps me out when I need to translate English to Cajun French for my grandparents but would like to see more words and phrases added

Love this

My Grandfather was teaching me French when I was young. He passed away when I was 13. I am now a grandmother and trying to teach my grandchildren. This is perfect...
