Also, my pronunciation is sometimes so good (for an American) that Haitians want to know WHERE I learned Creole. At least, by the tone of the question, I feel it's a compliment.

I'm also thinking of taking a 6 or 8-weeks Creole course while in Haiti if time permits.<br />Unfortunately the Bryant Freeman Haitian-English dictionary is not available for purchase any place that I know of. I saw it on Amazon about a couple of years ago and was dragging my feet about buying it because it was so pricey. I opted for a smaller and cheaper dictionary which was not a wise choice for my medical work in Haiti.<br /><br />I wonder if you had bought yours second-hand. Other than the major online stores, are there any other trustsworthy places for buying Haitian Creole used books (novels, dictionaries, etc...)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709182402663786720.post-90738636126684304562013-05-06T10:05:23.589-04:002013-05-06T10:05:23.589-04:00You seem to be one tough woman.You seem to be one tough woman.Javierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230115188997333036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709182402663786720.post-45587728245343028872013-05-06T07:28:07.010-04:002013-05-06T07:28:07.010-04:00Ms. Dory,

My strategy was simply to read Creole Made Easy, which took a few days, and then dive straight into reading the online newspaper Lavwadlamerik. I do have some of the other books but I found I just couldn't use them.<br /><br />Again great article!<br />RoshandaShonEjaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000555952465809793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709182402663786720.post-19508519059184734362013-05-05T22:31:28.363-04:002013-05-05T22:31:28.363-04:00You're very welcome, Javier.
