如何講一口牙買加英語?

平時喜歡聽點dub dancehall 啥的 覺得他們的口語非常有趣 希望有人給我指點一下


I have taught music in Jamaica 5 years ago. Jamaican slang is called Patois ("pa-twa). Here are some tricks you can try to sound like a Jamaican.

  1. Replace "th" with "t". (Thanks become tanks)
  2. Replace soft "th" sound with "d". ("The dog" becomes "De dog") ("There" becomes "dere")
  3. Say "Mi" instead of "I". ("I"m going to the store" becomes "Mi go da store")
  4. Stop pronouncing "h". ("Him" becomes "Im")
  5. "Wa guaan" means "What"s going on?" or "What"s up?"
  6. If you say "beer can" in a British accent, it sounds like "bacon" in a Jamaican accent.

Mi ope it elpful mon :p
