That's great! I can understand some Spanish if it is spoken slowly to me...German...when I was in Europe I could ask for the best beer in town, are you married, and when does your husband get home!

Well back in the early to mid 80s it was nice to know if the "ladies" knew what a razor was...after a night on the town and several drinks you could wake up with Chewbacca (starwars).

I had a book called Cajun and Creole folktales and that's where I first heard about Jean Sot. I think the book was written by Barry Ancelet

This is another interesting book of stories about growing up Cajun. Don't remember if Jean Sot is specifically mentioned or not, it's been a few years since I read it last.
