Reading With A Haitian Accent: Small Doses by Amanda Seales

|| TODAYS VIDEO ||
Today we are reading an excerpt from the book, "Small Doses" by Amanda Seales.
We are listening for the "TH" sound. Remember Haitian people don't pronounce the TH's.
This is a fun way to both learn and hear the Haitian Accent with a twist. After all accent work doesn't have to be taught the same way! Like.Share. & Comment. While we welcome all opinions, this is a positive space! The world is serious enough, we welcome fun!
Haitian Accents vary in region, many factors play into an accent. This video is based on a generalized Haitian Accent. Your family may say and have different variations for different accents. Like the Northern, Southern, & Midwest accents in the United States for example. This video was created to expand the awareness that black accents, experiences and cultures are not monolithic. This Haitian accent is a general Haitian Accent. We welcome positive inputs on the different variations that make up an island so full and rich with history that literally changed the world!
|| VIDEO TIP ||: Remember Haitian people don't pronounce the TH's. It becomes a "D". So Mo"th"er becomes Maw"d"er. Think of accent work, particular for BLACK ACCENTS think of the colonizers. Haiti had the French so the placement is not based in British RP which is wide. ALWAYS THINK FORWARD. The "TH" Sound is like a Da, Der sound depending on the word.
