🌴 Cousin Kadoh's Tip
Respect is a big part of Haitian culture. 🇭🇹
Small words like tanpri (please), mèsi (thank you), and eskize m (excuse me) can completely change the way your conversations feel.
Don’t just memorize these phrases — practice feeling the rhythm behind them. Haitians often communicate with warmth, patience, and personality.
You’re not just learning polite words… you’re learning how to connect with people.
