Welcome to the Peace Corps Suriname Family!The Peace Corps Suriname staff is working hard to get ready to greet your incoming training group. We know you are excited to get on your way. This language learning program has been developed by PCVs and HCN staff to let you start your language training today!Suriname is a former colony of the Netherlands; therefore Dutch is the official language. However, because of the many cultural groups, a Creole dialect arose to act as the lingua franca (common language) between all the people of Suriname.During your training you may learn one of the many languages of this diverse country. However, no matter where you are in Suriname or what language you will study, knowledge of Sranan Tongo will be a valuable asset.These lessons are designed to give you an introduction to the language. Set aside some time to listen, repeat, and read along. Before you know it, you will find yourself in the beautiful and fascinating country of Suriname, greeting its friendly people in their own language!
Best of luck in your transition – Walka Bun!Brigitte Agwense Language Coordinator Peace Corps Suriname
