I talk about the importance of proper greetings when your parents take you to social gatherings with older people. A simple "Hi" is unacceptable- instead, you need to go around and greet everyone with a kiss and a proper hello, no matter how many people are in the room. That's what shows real respect

I'm sharing this week's Haitian creole word "Tikal", which means "A little Bit" I explain how to use it politely when visiting someone's home when they offer you food, instead of refusing and potentially offending them, you can say "Ban m ou Tikal"( give me a little bit) to show appreciation while being respectful of the Haitian culture. 

I share two expression Creole expression for this week. We talk about Gate Sanm which means you make my blood boil or you make me mad. I explain how Haitian use this phrase in everyday conversation when someone upset them.
