    Great stuff. I'm a voice actor, and my dad's from Jamaica. This is one of the two primary accents I'd love to confidently have in my toolbox. Of the 2, this is the one I'm most comfortable with and the one that has the most cultural relevance to me.

    ADD ONE MORE MAJOR RULE (that should be in top 5): The "d" sound in "nd" is silent.
    hand = an
    bend over = ben ova
    - You pronounced the silent d while you were explaining the silent s in (stand) tan a yuh yawd. (stand at your yard a.k.a. stay home).

    Wow this is great.
    Because I'm from an Island Culture that sounds very much similar to Jamaican Patois.
    The speech, the language,
    can really be written to sound like the actual sounds.
    I think it is awesome and academically of great importance that you are iilustrating (teaching) the conversion of sounds to match the actual spoken sounds.
    Your work towards standardizing the written form is appreciated and very important.
    Hawai'i Creole should certainly to follow your example so that the Creole there can take standardized written form.

    I know that in the far future a movement will be strong enough to change the universal language that will be English to simplification of fixing its extremely broken phonetics to writing, as a Spanish speaker i find Spanish far superior in the phonetic to writing but not in how efficient English is to pass information faster with less words. by then the metric system should be long time been accepted in the USA. thanks for the Jamaican lesson.
