Teach Yourself Haitian Creole by Yeral E. Ogando is a
10-step book teaching the language of Haitian Creole. The author begins by encouraging the students to study just 20
minutes a day. Giving a broad
vocabulary and the verb tenses, in this way, the short term studying will
accumulate to practice that is made perfect everyday.
Offering a MP3 Audio download (from the back bonus page) the
author has made learning the Haitian Creole language even easier. The first
chapter is designed to learn the Creole alphabet, how to read Creole in any
text and how to say good morning. Step-by-step the author encourages learning
vocabulary and the practice of speaking with a person whose native tongue is
Creole to further learning the language. With plenty of symbols, art and
graphs, the author has made this a self-explanatory book that teaches the basis
of the Haitian Creole language. Each
part builds upon another. This is a fun
and fast way to teaching oneself this language.
With such chapters as: Bonjou - Good Morning, Kouman Ou
Ye – How are You, Mwen Konprann Kreyol –I Understand Creole, Nan Biwo-At the
Office, Nan Lopital – At the Hospital, Vwayaj Pou Ayiti – Trip to Haiti, Nan
Otel La – At the Hotel, Nan Restoran – At the Restaurant, Twa Komante Yo –
Three Comments, Kat Atik Espesyal Yo – Four Special Articles, Answers, Glossary
and an added Bonus Page, the author presents different scenarios to
communicating with the language, such as asking how are you and if one were to
go to the hospital, a hotel or restaurant, etc.
This is an exciting, but very practical way to learn the
language. Highly recommended as a
study-guide to those that are new to the language as this is an easy and
fast-paced way to learn the tenses and vocabulary of the language. The author
has done an excellent job with this book.
