Bronx, New York – I should have done this sooner, but I am now going to include notes which serve to outline what was discussed and shared in Mr. Milton Guity Sr’s In-Person Conversational Garifuna Language Class.

.

Charting what was covered in the class may help those interested in participating in this unique course.

.

Out of deference and respect to those who actually pay for and participate in the class, I won’t include the actual Garifuna content, but I will list what was covered.

.

I was late to this particular class and spent a lot of time taking photos and letting people know that the class was in session through social media.

.

.

We discussed the Garifuna Vocabulary word for Aunt. In this instance, there are different words for Aunt on the father’s side (father’s sister) and Aunt on the Mother’s side (Mother’s sister).

.

I was only aware of the Garifuna Word for Aunt on the father’s side.

.

When I initially learned of that Garifuna Word for Aunt, I didn’t know that it meant Aunt on the Father’s side. I didn’t know that there was another option for the word Aunt in the Garifuna Language.

.

The Garifuna Vocabulary Word for Arrival was discussed.

.

We also discussed the nuances regarding the Garifuna Vocabulary Word for “see” . We also discussed the variation of the Garifuna Vocabulary Word for “see” that translates to, “look for”.

.

We also learned the phrase “until next Friday.” in the Garifuna Language.

.

That’s all I could find in my notes for this particular class. My notes are far more extensive in future Conversational Garifuna Language Classes.
