People who want to learn how to speak Jamaican Patwa have different reasons. Some of them include learning it for the enjoyment of it, or because it is a cool and interesting language to hear, or that they intend on traveling to Jamaica and would like to learn how to communicate with the locals.
"Learning Jamaican Patwa, or Patois as its otherwise known, is actually a really interesting and fun experience, and the feedback we have had from past visitors has been amazing", said Trevor, spokesperson for the website.
"We have people visit us from all corners of the globe, and all have different reasons for wanting to learn".
The website offers a number of lessons to be able to transition from the basics, to intermediate, to an advanced level. The beginner lessons are designed to start from the very basics, from the point of view of an English speaking person who has never before attempted to learn Jamaican. Therefore, it offers complete lesson plans to ensure nobody is left behind at any stage of the course.
"I started off wanting to learn to speak it about a month before my holiday to Jamaica, and to be honest I knew nothing about it. But the lessons were easy to understand and very organized, and that allowed me to pick it up quickly, to a level where I'm now able to speak and have conversations with locals," said Sandra, a satisfied visitor of the site.
All in all, people don't need to be visiting the island to want to learn. It's just like any other language - people do it for the enjoyment.
