Morisyen (Mauritian Creole) lessons and resources

Morisyen — Mauritian Creole — is spoken by over a million people, and there is very little structured teaching material for it anywhere. These lessons and guides are built from scratch.

Who this is for

• Heritage speakers who understand more than they can say, or who want to read and write the language properly
• Families with Mauritian roots wanting children to keep the language
• Travellers going to Mauritius who would rather not rely on French or English
• Anyone curious about a creole language with a genuinely distinctive grammar

How lessons work

Lessons are one to one and built around what you actually want to do with the language — talking to family, travelling, or working through the writing system. Because Morisyen has no standard published course, materials are written for each student rather than taken off a shelf.

Free guides

• Kreol: History and Evolution — where the language came from
• Kreol: Syntax — how sentences are built
• Kreol: Pronunciation — a phonetic guide
• Kreol: To or Ou? — the polite form of "you"

There is also a free Morisyen taster course in the course library.
