Where this content comes from
Wi, Nou Ka Palé Kwéyòl is an independent project built to help people learn and practice Saint Lucian Kwéyòl (Saint Lucian Creole French) through games and lessons.
Every game and lesson on this site draws its Kwéyòl vocabulary from the Saint Lucian Kwéyòl Dictionary (Crosbie, Frank, Leon & Samuel, Ministry of Education, Government of Saint Lucia, © 2001 SIL International). It is the standard reference for the language.
We use it as a source of facts: which word means what, and how it is spelled. We don't republish it wholesale. The lessons and guides under /learn/ are our own original writing: the explanations, structure and teaching context are written for this site, and they show each word with a short plain meaning rather than copying the dictionary's definitions or its example sentences.
Some games, such as Fill in the Blank and the Typing Test, use sentences recorded in the dictionary as practice material. We never make up Kwéyòl sentences ourselves: any new example sentences on this site will be written or checked by a native or fluent Kwéyòl speaker.
Founder: Nigel Shomari Nicholas
Jwé Kwéyòl (Wi, Nou Ka Palé Kwéyòl) was founded by Nigel Shomari Nicholas, a Saint Lucian media and digital content producer. It brings vocabulary games, an everyday errand adventure, multiplayer play, island geography and live radio together in one free place for learners at home and across the diaspora.
“Kwéyòl is who we are, but too many of our young people only hear it from grandparents and never get to play in it.”
The games are free and kept running by advertising. Read more in the Jwé Kwéyòl launch announcement.
