Course Overview
An n Pale Kreyòl Ayisyen
This course is an introduction to Haitian Creole. My name is Jean Marc Stuppard. I am a multimedia publisher, owner of Studio 38. I am not only a co-author of the course but I am also a student. I must admit that my Haitian creole is limited and in need of an upgrade. That is what this course proposes to do.
I am pleased to partner with Mr. Emmanuel Darius, a student of linguistics, a God sent if you will, to present to you an introduction to Haitian Creole. This course will give you a solid foundation in Grammar and reading of Haitian Creole along with basic conversational vocabulary. This course is not intended for non-Haitians only, but it is created also for the diaspora of Haitians living outside of the mother country that has not had the opportunity to complete its study and knowledge of this beautiful language which brings closeness to the Haitian culture.
"Where have you been all my life Mr. Darius?" That should be the words uttered from your mouth when you realize the investment in the community Mr. Darius has made and his commitment to passing along his knowledge of the language, the mother tongue which embodies the cultural heritage, the nuances that translation cannot convey or transfer. To comprehend the language by the benefit of immersion is but one of the steps required to truly master any language.
We plan to publish an intermediate and advanced course to enrich your journey and quest to read, write and understand Haitian Creole

I'm learning Creole in real time while working in a Haitian village. I find the pronunciation to be a little difficult, because so much of what I'm hearing is hard. I understand learning the letters to know how to pronunciate, but there isn't a ton of literature to read. I kind of wish we were learning more audibly and seeing how to pronounce the spelling a little later. Not sure if that makes sense. But I'm slowly catching on. Also, for the homework given-- I hate busy work. I don't think "underlining vowels" is productive time spent. The vowels are the same in English-- just need the accents. I think having some more practical use homework lessons would help us progress faster, such vocabulary or conjugation.

The teacher explained the vowels of Haitian Creole so easily. After 1 lesson I was able to understand everything

It’s like a ppt slide to the right ghat keeps on happening, it’s very annoying.

I am Haitian American, and my creole is bad. Mainly because of how I pronounce words. This course is amazing and so far has helped me tremendously.
