History

Grenada, like many of the Caribbean islands, Culture is a melting pot of British, French, African and Amerindian influences. While the main spoken language in Grenada is English, a patois was also spoken by the older folks on the island, Though because of the older generation not passing down this patois, the younger generation no longer speak it, However certain patois words are still regularly used in the day to day speech of Grenadians. Some of these words are " Oui " "Bonjee" "Pickney" and much more.

The Grenadian people are very kind and sociable, and are ready to help anyone who may seem a bit lost.
