Award-Winning Papiamentu Tutors

Papiamentu is a creole language that is spoken in the Dutch Caribbean. It has approximately 170,000 speakers and is mostly spoken on the islands of Bonaire, Curacao, and Aruba. Papiamentu is a creole language, which means that it is a language that is developed from a mixture of other languages. In this case, Papiamentu is a mix between Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch. There are several theories concerning where the language originated from. The prevailing theory is that it came from West Africa because of the language's similarities to creole languages from Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. Papiamentu is not a language that is typically taught outside of the islands where it originates. As such, if you have a desire to learn the language, you will likely be working by yourself.

There are slight dialectical differences between the Papiamento spoken in Bonaire and Curacao and the Papiamento spoken in Aruba. The dialect spoken in Aruba has more of a Spanish sound to it when it is spoken. Papiamentu tutoring can be helpful in terms of parsing out these dialectical differences because a tutor can give students insight into the cultural differences between the different islands. This is something that can be difficult for students to achieve their own because the differences are subtle and are mostly connected to pronunciation and the accent that is used. A Papiamentu tutor can speak to students in the language and help them gain experience with both listening to and speaking the language.
