Do you ever wonder where this “blan” word came from? How can a simple word hold such significance in the Haitian vocabulary like rice and beans? I don’t know the answer too. But one thing is for sure, the person who told you that it’s hard to learn a new language hasn’t tried learning Kreyol yet! So without further ado, let me present this week’s episode of Life of a Blan in Haiti! Based on a true story when I was trying to learn French. Yes, French, but in the end I speak better Kreyol than French.
