Engee: Alright. We are going to hop around in questions a lot. I’ve read that you can actually speak five different languages.
Jimmy: Yes, yes. Uh, Correcto!
Engee: Very cool. Okay, I can understand…I believe its English, French, Spanish, and Italian? How often do you…
Jimmy: Yeah, and Creole.
Engee: How often do you get to use Creole, I mean I’ve never really…
Jimmy: Well, Creole…all the time because of my parents and my family. Because I’m Haitian and in Haiti we speak Creole first.
Engee: Oh, okay. See, I was under the impression that they spoke mainly French there but they speak Creole.
Jimmy: No, no. It’s Creole first and then French. But most people don’t speak French. I mean only the people that have the chance to go to school speak French but otherwise, in the streets, we speak Creole.
