the words and tempo vary from area to area, sometime easy to understand sometimes hard..in anger it gets very hard...then toss in words that even if you understand what they said completely, you still dont know what "that" word means?.....and the patois even changes with the year..as does our slang.....some mean "hip" to be cool....some say it for a "large" woman.....

just ask them first to slow down, you will be saying it in a day..of course you must spend time with them, not talking to other tourists all the time

some...... after our years of going we still dont get it all.....maybe 'cause we aint supose to?

its fun really...
