Hello all, I need some help in teaching 10 classes of fourth graders a few Papiamentu phrases. I am doing a series of 25 minute presentations on Bonaire for the Mahomet, Illinois schools for their "Hands around the World" day. The kids want to know how to say, "Which way to the Beach?" and "Save the sea turles"--can anyone help me give them the correct words? thanks, pauline kayes

hi,the answer is "di nada" as in spanish "de nada"
"bo ta bon bini" means you are welcome to stay at my house,boat,or any other place.
