Inhaltsangabe

The Virgin Islands Dictionary is a collection of words and phrases used frequently, naturally and enjoyably by the people who call the Virgin Islands home. Don't get me wrong, most Virgin Islanders speak English well. A growing number speak English and Spanish making that set bilingual, while a super special set speak English and a well-organised and brilliant dialect too and that makes them Vllingual! Through the collection of words and phrases captured here, you get a sense of many things about the people of the islands: that they are sometimes curt, very funny, and insolently mischievous at times. The words coupled with the way Virgin Islanders dramatically speak, make for a good time and hours of fun. This Dictionary will also do that, provide hours of fun and an easy tool for cultural exchange and pride and is THE BEST GUIDE for a newbie to learn the ins and outs of the Virgin Islands' "language".
