--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

我很忙 I‘m busy（Beginner）

Hi my friends,In today‘s lesson we are going to learn how  to ask someone questions to know how someone is in Creole
*Plizyè fason nou ka di sa - many ways we can say that 

Nou ka di - we can say 
Kijan ou ye?  Kòman ou ye?  kouman ou ye?(fòmèl) yo tout vle di - they all means ,How are you? or how are you doing? 
Pa egzanp: for example
Egz: Bonjou Mesye,Kijan ou ye? Good morning Sr, How are you?

Nou ka ajoute yon endikatè tanporèl nan fraz la : we can add a time indicador in the sentence 
Tankou - like,  
Kounya (kounye a) - Now 
jodia - today
Pa egzanp : for example
Egz:Alo Mari, How are you doing today?  Hi Mari,Alo Mari , Kijan w ye jodia? 

Kèk fason fòmèl ak enfòmèl ou ka poze kesyon sa tou – some informal ways you can ask this question also:
 Sak pase?  , Sak regle? , Sak ap fèt?  yo tout vle di: they all means  What‘s up? / or what happen (enfòmèl)....

Nou ka di tou – We can say also 

Pa gen anyen ki tonbe? - What‘s new ?   
Ou anfòm? ou oke? -   Are you good?  are you okay ?
Kijan bagay yo ye? -    How are things?
Kijan vi a ye? -            How ‘s life?, 
Ou la ?           -       Are you there?
      
Kounya,Pou w di kijan ou ye , nou itilize pwonon pèsonèl yo sann pa itilize vèb ‘’se’’ a – Now ,To say how you are we use the subject pronounce without using the verb to ‘’be’’ .

Pa egzanp: for example 
Si yon moun mande ou , kijan ou ye?   kòman ou ye ? if someone ask you how are you?
Ou ka di : you can Say
Egz: Mwen byen,mèsi e ou: I am good thanks and you / I am fine thanks and you/
 Byen mèsi e ou - fine thanks and you, Mwen Anfòm (M anfòm) , anfòm-I am pretty good/I am doing great , M pa pi mal - I am not bad , Pa pi mal -not bad 
E ou oubyen e ou menm vle di means And you
Fason popilè enfòmel pou reponn, kijan ou ye oubyen sak pase 
Common informal ways to answer to how are you , what‘s up or what happen

M Poze - I‘m chilling    
M la - I‘m there   
N ap gade - I am hanging on 
N ap kenpe  -I am holding on Byen jiska prezan : Good so far
