Description: Even if you don't speak a word of French now, you'll pick up plenty of basic Cajun words, phrases and some lagniappe, including cooking terms, a pronunciation guide for tongue-twisting Louisiana place names, and lots of humor! Lafayette-born and Houma-raised author John Gravois will teach you some sweet talk as well as how to deliver some choice insults in Cajun French. Along the way, he'll enlighten you with history of how Acadians bounced from France to Canada to South Louisiana, explain the importance of preserving Cajun culture and language, and insights into Cajun joie de vivre. And the author, who also wrote A CAJUN FAMILY COOKBOOK, will autograph your copy. EARLY PRAISE FOR SPEAK CAJUN: "A must read! If you want to get your Cajun on, you've got to read John Gravois' fabulous little book. It's fun, factual and full of history, Cajun idioms and their pronunciations. This authentic son of the bayou does a huge service in compact form by helping to illuminate a culture that remains singular on the American landscape." Ken Wells, ex-Wall Street Journal writer/editor, and author of Gumbo Life: Tales from the Roux Bayou and the Cajun classic coming-of-age novel, Meely LaBauve.
