To wrap up our month-long celebration of the Kreyòl language, VWA Devlopman welcomes Jacques Julmice, author of Creole Meets English. Julmice introduces his innovative teaching approach called “Kreglish,” a practical method designed to help English speakers begin speaking Haitian Kreyòl quickly and confidently. Instead of relying on rote memorization or endless grammar drills, Kreglish blends English and Kreyòl by focusing on shared sounds and similar spellings — making the learning process faster and more natural. In this engaging conversation, Julmice shares what inspired him to write the book, his lifelong passion for languages, his experience learning to write in Kreyòl after migrating to the United States, and the creative process behind his method. He also offers a glimpse into his upcoming book, which aims to reach an even broader audience of language learners.

Pou fèmen mwa selebrasyon lang Kreyòl la, VWA Devlopman resevwa ekriven Jacques Julmice, otè liv Creole Meets English. Nan epizòd sa a, Julmice prezante nouvo apwòch li a ki rele “Kreglish”, yon metòd pratik ki fèt pou ede moun ki pale anglè aprann pale Kreyòl Ayisyen rapid e avèk konfyans. Olye pou l itilize metòd tradisyonèl ki chaje ak anpil vokabilè pou memorize ak règ gramè konplike, metòd Kreglish la sèvi ak mo anglè ak mo kreyòl ki sonnen menm oswa ki ekri menm jan, pou fè aprantisaj la pi natirèl ak pi vit. Nan entèvyou sa a, Julmice pale sou sa ki te pouse l ekri liv la, lanmou li pou lang etranje depi li te jèn an Ayiti, eksperyans li aprann ekri Kreyòl apre li te imigre Ozetazini, epi tout kreyativite ki dèyè metòd li a. Li pataje tou kèk detay sou nouvo liv li, yon pwojè ki vize yon piblik pi laj atravè mond lan.

The conversation discusses the importance of insurance in national development, especially in the context of natural disasters such as Hurricane Melissa. It explores the role of insurance in managing financial risks, disaster preparedness, and the government’s responsibilities. The diaspora can play an important role in development, and communication and education about insurance are essential to improving community resilience.
