Reflection

I learned a lot of good things over the course of this project. I learned that language develops with the people who teach it. When the slaves came over from from Africa, they used a mix of African language and English to communicate with each other called Gullah. This language developed over time and is still used today on the coast of the Carolinas. Some Gullah words like juke, jumbalaya, and tote are used in the English language. We are now taking from Gullah, because we gave Gullah the means to form itself. This was a fun project and I learned a lot!
