The basic tenets of Ebonics, also known as African American English (AAE) are phonological changes such as adding -'ta to the end of words like 'work to 'work-ta, subject pronoun and verb agreement, different word choices than Standard English for expressing certain concepts, e.g. phrases like "bad meaning "good," and phrasing questions so that the grammar is more aligned with a declarative statement ("You ain't gonna do it?"). In some cases Ebonics incorporates influences from other languages such as Creole. In addition to learning the language itself, it is important to respect its cultural context as part of black culture in particular and multicultural America in general.

To talk in ebonics, use pronunciation and grammar similar to that of African Americans. Use words like "gonna," "do dis," and "I'm 'bout" instead of going to, doing this, and I am about. Use slang phrases such as "fo shizzle" and "'course you did!" instead of for sure andof course you did! Pronounce some letters differently such as saying 'thuh' instead of the letter 'th'. Talk more quickly, exaggerating some sounds. Be patient if you can not pronounce or understand an African American. Remember that Ebonics is a language used by people from specific communities; it will be perceived in different ways by different people..
