Talk Like a Jamaican! - Jamaican Patwa (Patois) Lessons for All Ages and Stages
Jamaican Patwa (Patois) or Creole,is in the Heart and Soul of every Jamaican,or as we call each other, 'Yardie'.
It’s a colorful, vibrant and incredibly expressive language filled with a ton load of love and gut busting laughter!
IF you understand it that is. Truth is,unless you’re a yardie,related to them, or are in some way familiar enough with the dialect,it’s hardly something you can just readily pick up on. And the Patwa Hollywood tries to sell you in their movies? Don’t buy it. We always wonder who’s teaching them.
Learn from a real native and let’s have fun!
Maybe you’ve always wondered what that one Jamaican song you really like but can’t understand,said.
Is it that coworker that you know is really funny but you just can’t get what they’re saying?
Or perhaps you plan on traveling here someday and wanna be able to understand what the person trying to sell you something is saying (because believe me,someone will be trying to sell you something ). Doesn’t matter. I’m here to help make it make sense.
Come chat some Patwa wid me! =)

About Me
From the sunshine island of Jamaica.Lover of cheesecake,chocolate and all the good stuff in between!
I’ve been an online tutor for over 4 years,helping students to gain confidence and trust in their abilities and themselves. My true passion,though,is the opportunity create a warm,open,relaxed and friendly environment to whomever I’m interacting with.
Introvert and into it ;D
Photography lover with a wanderlust soul.
Know a hilarious movie? Share it! Laughing till my cheeks hurt is a favorite pass time.
Let’s get to know each other.
Education
Holy Childhood High School. Successful completions in English Language, Social Studies, Human and Social Biology, Religious Education and Business Administration.Experience / Qualifications
NVQJ in Business Administration / 4 + Years of online tutoring / Tutored all ages / Proficient in English Language / Currently completing TESOL certificate.Do you want to truly communicate with someone? Is there someone in your life who you’re looking to reach on a more personal level? Or perhaps you’re looking to be more open about yourself but you just don’t know how.
I struggled with this for a long time. I’d have conversation after conversation with friends,family members or even coworkers. Somehow,it seemed like the needs still weren’t being met on either side. Or worse yet,on their side but never mine. I yielded to this and settled with the expectation that this is obviously just how life goes,even if it’s frustrating. When I eventually did find my voice,the confidence was growing,but somehow it’s like I still wasn’t being heard.
That’s because I was talking,but never Communicating. And even when I did,it wasn’t being done effectively (believe me,there’s a huge difference).
Did it seem like I took a peek inside your head while you were reading this? Were you nodding along mentally?
It’s such a common struggle. And if you happen to be an introvert in a sea of loud voices,you likely know what it’s like to be drowned out a lot of the times. The thing is,a struggle like this can be a hold back to any kind of relationship that has the potential to thrive and flourish. But with the time and willingness to at least try,I can promise you from personal experience that it doesn’t have to be.
Communication is a powerful tool,it’s even been described as "the lifeblood of any healthy relationship".
But first,you gotta know HOW to do it. Are you communicating,or are you just talking? Is there a difference?
Let’s find out.
Let’s build bridges,
Let’s delve beyond words,
Let’s start somewhere,
Let’s Talk!

✅MEDIA TRAINING WORKSHOPS (TV, RADIO, WEB-TV, WEB-RADIO): TOOLS TO PERFECT YOUR CONTENT, YOUR PUBLIC SPEECH, YOUR COMMUNICATION, YOUR ANIMATIONHow to prepare for a media interview? What means should be used to fight his fear of the camera and improve his image? How to present yourself and your project in front of a camera?
How to present yourself and your project to the media?
Targeted content according to your project: Verbal and/or gestural communication; Seduction of the lens and/or microphone; Improvisation in front of a microphone and/or camera; Voice & gaze; One or two camera games; Chronic; Animation; Reporting; Live radio & TV; Interview; Narration; Speech in all its forms (...).
In short, several objectives:
◾ Confront your shyness in front of the microphone/camera.
◾ Understand his speech and diction.
◾ Tame the media environment (radio/tv).
◾ Become familiar with your image and voice.
◾ Manage your speaking time.
Through exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentations, time management), role plays, simulated interviews and familiarization with their image and voice, participants evolve at their own pace within a framework flexible teaching.
Please note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed gradually on the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.
Indeed, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, which, while taking care of its image, is based on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations ) reflecting the speaker's involvement in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression?
Knowing how to speak, act and interact in public is almost a necessity today: your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and impactful messages.
Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering confidence ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups ● overcoming shyness by assimilating 3 CRV axes (body-breathing-voice) ● better manage disagreement or conflict.
Mastered, the method allows:
• to improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's (verbal-corporal) ease, his public speaking skills and his sense of repartee and improvisation.
• to work on their ease, leadership, charisma, creativity and personal development through role-playing scenarios.
* to improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitches, intention, flow).
* convey your message through your image, while gaining improvisation skills and responsiveness.
Supplemented by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management), role plays, improvisations and simulations. With the key word: pronunciation, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee.

Q. Why is speaking the main focus?
A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers.
-----A message to the students at the end-----
I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.
