Friends would be quite similar to the French - Ami I would recommend the Seychelles Tourism Website - it's packed with information. Here is the link to the language page on their site: http://www.seychelles.travel/en/about_seychelles/language.php
When I was in the Seychelles, I spoke French, which all the locals easily understand. The schools teach English, French and creole, so the Seychellois can communicate in all 3, depending on what you are comfortable with.
thanks a lot for the information. I am staying with the seychellois family and its an exchange and i would like to speak creole rather than english. I know one or two words in french. Any idea if there are any dictionaries in creole and english
