Why are Haitians always apt to take to the streets to 'protest' so angrily instead talking things over among leaders?
Have you ever had the ground that you stand on taken away from you?

Sometimes rallying to support a cause or for restitution of our rights is the only way to be heard (don't we all do it?).
The right to 'protest' is the only that we seize and it can't be taken away from us.
So, if you're ever in Haiti and you hear "Rasanble! Rasanble!", just bring your walking shoes and be ready to have a long walk.

Are you taking Creole language classes?
The best thing you could do is immerse yourself in the language. Listen to it every day via radio, internet or TV. Read about the culture, tradition, and history of Haiti (there are many beginners book available at http://www.educavision.com/ or http://www.librerimapou.com/). And finally find a Creole speaker to practice speaking the language.
There are also some conversational classes offered at http://www.haitihub.com/ They might also be helpful to you.
I wish you all the best.
