In this book are lessons that discuss the formation of Jamaican Creole and English tenses. You will learn how to form verbs in the various tenses of Jamaican Creole (such as present tense, past tense, future tense, etc.). The grammatical structures of Jamaican Creole and English are also compared to help you develop a better understanding of the differences between the languages. You will also learn how to pronounce Jamaican Creole words. Jamaican Creole is not a formal language, so there might be a variety of spellings for a particular word when it is written by different people. This book outlines a simple alphabetical system to help you enunciate Jamaican Creole words. It uses the simplest spelling for each syllable of a word to imitate the spoken word as best as possible. The words most commonly used in everyday conversation are used in the examples and practice exercises included. Some common Jamaican proverbs are also included, and a list of Jamaican verbs conjugated by tense is included in the appendix.

It is suggested that you use the books Jamaican Creole Grammar and Speak Jamaican: A Guide To Fluency along with this book to improve your understanding of Jamaican Creole.
