Hi! Thank you for your awesome blog! I am living in Haiti right now and will be teaching English classes soon. I just wanted to say that it would be really helpful if you had a section for common phrases in the classroom. Thank you so much once again!

Dakò, I'll post that :)

What is it like when a father always ends everything he says to his daughter with the word "tande"? And how would a daughter respond to her father in Creole with something to show respect...like yes sir, or ok daddy?

tande → to hear

tande?
Do you hear me?
Do you understand me?

and.... 'Wi, papa.' shows plenty of respect, unless he wants to be addressed by a different name.

I was just asked by someone I met in Haiti while on a medical mission to be the godmother of his new baby. What is expected of me?

Basically, a godmother in Haiti sponsors the child, and is always one step away behind the parents to help rear the child.
The godmother should be present at the child baptism or presentation. You may bring a small gift for the child, but that's not required.
If that someone who asked you this favor does not know you well, and you don't even live in Haiti, I think an unfair responsibility has fallen into your lap.
