Make sure to take time to chat with the local Newfoundlanders all along your route, to appreciate the variety of our beautiful Newfoundland dialects amd our proud culture. This is the result of a diverse mixture our ancestry roots, who settled in the isolated coves and inlets of Newfoundland, to harvest fish from the bountiful sea. They came from Ireland, England, Scotland, France etc. Each area of our great province has different dialects & speed of speech, depending on the mixing of the most abundant ancestry roots in that particular area. If by chance you are invited into a locals home for tea or coffee,make sure you say "Yes". This is the best experience of all!
We try & slow down our speech for our "Come From Aways Guest", but when some of my guest, has heard me talking to my friends and family, they claim I am bilingual! And its true...we are, and we are so proud of our culture and roots! We often say, " You can take the boy out of the bay, but you cant take the bay out of the boy!"
Come visit us and see and hear for yourself, what we see and live everyday that we are so blessed to have been born here!
