FLE


In our first English – Creole exchange class, we played Pictionary to learn vocabulary. Following the class, I was attempting to impress my new friends by telling them that I liked flowers (in Creole). With confidence, I said “Mwen rele fle!”. With amusement, my new friends laughed and gently explained that i had just said “My name is the flower.”

As far as nicknames go, it certainly could be worse.
