Good morning from Linden, Guyana!
Today I am thinking of history. I wrote Caribbean History at CXC (in high school). I enjoyed learning a little French history in French class and some art and Greek history in art class. I remember learning of the French Revolution and the guillotine.
INTERESTING TIDBIT: I am considered a native English speaker because Guyana's official language is English (this is related to the country's history - it used to be called British Guiana). The "everyday language" in Guyana is Creolese, a broken form of English that is like a slang. In my case, I also attended a primary school that educated children of expatriates (associated with the bauxite company in Linden).
Because I grew up in Guyana, I easily communicate with the average Guyanese citizen. I understand Guyanese people from different areas such as the East Bank and East Coast.
