Too often. And I live in Lafayette. It's mostly people trying to sound cool and cajun.
what's wrong with people getting back in touch with their heritage? I think it's a positive thing no matter the motivation.

Besides on KBON radio, probably once a week. My grandpa still speaks it to his friends and when I go to the barber once a month lots of it is spoken there.

I think it is. I've always made an effort to learn and preserve my culture. It's very important to me and really awsome to be passing it on to another generation.

Definitely something we don't do enough of in America. Having traveled and lived abroad, its pretty clear the culprit is 24/7 fast food, wal Mart, etc. I'm teaching myself how to smoke/age meats like my great grandparents did. Hopefully we all wake up soon before we completely lose our identity.

Growing up I heard it often bc my grandparents and great aunts and uncles spoke Cajun French. My parents generation didn't speak it amongst themselves and didn't pass it down.
So during my childhood I heard it weekly. Now I seldom hear it.
