Then how'd they speak to Clark W Griswold? He's established they speak Cajun French. His writing here establishes that he speaks English AND that he does not speak Cajun French.
Also, your insecure shtick when it comes to Cajuns leads me to believe that at some point a short Cajun dude fricked your girl and kicked the shite out of you afterwards. Was it Boudreaux or Thibodeaux?

My great-grand parents lived their entire lives in Galiano/Golden Meadow.
I learned their version of cajun french before I got thru 3rd grade. My parents never knew I could understand most every word until they'd try to pull that BS about talking shite about other people or us kids that rhey didn't want us to hear. I'll never forget my old man's face when I told him "ce n'est pas mon heure de do-do. Tu va do do la bas!" as I pointed to his & my mom's bedroom. My Pawpaw practically wet himself. Which was a problem since his pantelons were clean up to his chest! Haha
Sadly, both my Mawmaw & Pawpaw passed when I was in middle school & I lost the tongue, for the most part. They were amazing people.

Stopped with my grandparents. All 4 spoke it. I think it stopped because that was their secret language to say things in front of us that they didn't want us to know. So there was no reason to teach us 
. truly, as we got older, I don't remember them speaking it anymore. But I remember it a lot as a kid.

There are quite a few Facebook groups where guys make daily video lessons.
That being said, parents and grandparents both speak it fluently. I know enough and have taught my fiancée enough to talk shite about people in public. I’d like to be fluent though.

I remember my maw maw being on the phone and when one of us walked in the room she would switch to French. She died when I was about 10. I wish I would have learned to speak it. I can understand bits and pieces but no where near enough to hold a conversation.

I speak perfect Vidalian Cajun French, with a slight hint of a Ferridian accent, baw.
What would you like to know?
Or as we Vidalian Cajuns like to say....
“C’est con la flour a la signo’n se’ ma’cha ne’, baw?”
We so Cajun frenchy around here, our iPhones autocorrect in it!

It’s dying out.
Great grand parents (all dead before I recall them) were non English speaking.
Grandparents. All 4 were fluent in English and French. My dads dad as he got older would rattle stuff off to me before he’d realize I wasn’t Dad. Then laugh and repeat it in English.
Parents. When I was young they could hold brief broken conversations in it. Christmas time I can remember they’d talk about presents with each other in French. And also any other shite they didn’t want me to understand. Now they’ve lost it. They are like me and pick up words. Granted they can pick up a LOT more than I can.
It happened that quick. From non English speaking to nobody fluent in 90 years or so.
