Dear John,
My granddaughter teaches at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL. She recommended a fine French dictionary that I bought but had difficulty using it. I gave it to one of my other grandchildren who was studying French and he was really tickled. He told me "Granny, that's the one my French teacher uses."
Later, I found the perfect one for me. I have no difficulty with "A Dictionary of the Cajun Language by Rev. Msgr. Jules O. Daigle, M.A., S.T.L. I found a copy at a book store in Ville Platte.
My parents' ancestors came from France and Spain. My father told my mother "we are Creole, not Cajun" but Msgr. writes because there was so much intermarriage between the Creoles and the Cajuns, we can all call ourselves Cajun.
I am a French-speaking native of Ville Platte, Evangeline Parish, Louisiana. I read French fairly well, but I do not write it well. With the help of Msgr's dictionary I can read almost anything written in French.
