Li te rate vòl la.

 You miss the whole point.
Ou mal konprann bagay la.

 She missed her period.  Maybe she's pregnant.
Li pa't wè règ li.  Petèt li ansent.
Règ li pa vini.  Petèt li ansent.

 Did you miss your period last month?
Eske règ ou te vini mwa pase?

Hi! How could I say words that would express a pure, untouched place, like a pristine beach or an island? Merci beaucoup!

vyèj (virgin)  is the first word that comes to mind.
you could use:
vyèj (incorrupt, intact), ki pa eksplwate (unexploited, unused), ki pa touche (untouched)

American schools in Haiti


  1. Good Morning Mandaly. I left Haiti 10 years ago; so i'm not sure how schooling is right now. I know for a fact that Quisqueya Christian School and Union school were the top American based school in Port au Prince when I was in Haiti.

    for the fee it can varies from 125 to 400 US dollar/month.

    here some schools and their websites that I found.

    Quisqueya Christian school :
    www.quisqueya.org

    Union school : http://www.unionschool.edu.ht/about-ush

    New American school :
    http://www.jaimehaiti.org/nas/

    Haitian Academy:
    thehaitianacademy.org

    morning star Christian academy:
    mscahaiti.org

    you can see the curriculums and make the comparisons

    hope this will help you

Lè ou genyen konfidans ak detèminasyon, tout pòt ouvè pou ou.

I recently went on a mission trip to Haiti. We are going back in the spring, and I am very interested in learning some Creole to better communicate. Do you have any good resources that you would recommend to someone with little Creole experience? Mesi!

Carlo from www.Haitihub.com has a very good online introductory course which lasts eight weeks.
He also has an audio lab with modules which you can use on your own.

If you decide to buy a book instead, you may start with Wally Turnbull's Creole Made Easy.  There is an audio workbook that you goes along with it.  And you can use the online modules of Creole Made Easy at HaitiHub.com audio lab.
