Shortly after I started posting these lessons on my web site, I found a excellent learning resource put together by Amanda Lafleur, professor of Louisiana French at LSU. Her web site, Le français en Louisiane, gives an introduction to the language learning system she is using: BYKI. At the moment there are between 20 and 30 lessons in the BYKI format. What's good about these lessons is that they come with audio so that you can listen to each phrase or word as it should be pronounced by Louisiana French speakers.

Here is the BYKI list for this lesson. There are 14 words and phrases in that lesson including the phrase above.

Use the Quizlet set for this lesson to practice the words from the phrase above.
