# Listening: Fanmi mwen

Haitian Creole Listening, Lesson 05

 Listening: Fanmi mwen

Listen for family words and simple possession after the noun.

   5

fanmi mwen

## 1. Listening focus

The key listening goal is to hear the family word first, then the possessor after it.

**Pronunciation guide:** fanmi mwen = fahn-mee mwen; sè mwen = seh mwen.

## 2. How to use it

 In phrases such as **manman mwen**, the family word comes before the pronoun.

## 3. Listening building blocks

Use a warm, slow recording for this topic.
