4 Sure Fire and Easy Ways to learn enough Cajun French to greet someone, order a meal or spend time in Cajun country
If you like Cajun music but are intimidated by the Cajun French language, try learning some words and phrases.
Here are some other resources – books and courses. There are also books by renowned teachers that can help.
Cajun Self-Taught 1st Edition by Rev. Jules O. Daigle (Author)
Tonnerre mes chiens!: A glossary of Louisiana French figures of speech
Cajun Self-Taught : Learning to Speak the Cajun Language
“Allons danser avec moi”
Although not identical, most of the everyday French taught on the site would help you at an Acadian festival in the Canadian Maritimes as well. The Cajuns are cousins of Canada’s Acadian population who were deported to Louisiana during the expulsion of the Acadians in the 1750’s.
Try it before you head out to the next fais do-do (Cajun party) or au festival.
Cajun iPhone App
There is also a free iPhone app to help you learn French. The app is free but you pay $7.99 for each language. This is a little more complicated but it will give you a ready reference on your iPhone.
Follow the instructions exactly.
