5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Medical Dictionary, August 31, 2006

This review is from: English Haitian Creole Medical Dictionary (Paperback)

I would highly recommend this English/Haitian Creole Dictionary. It has many illustrations and is divided into body systems. In addition, it has an alaphabetical word listing. There are also plenty of complete sentences translated to help with patient questioning and examination. A Haitian friend of mine said the dictionary was written the way Creole is spoken in rural areas, where I often work. I am not going to Haiti again without it.

I lived and worked in Haiti for several years, so I already speak and read Creole. We didn't have a book like this to study from, but now that I am back in the States, I decided to get it to "bone up" because I am working with Haitians here.
The book is fantastic and will be helpful to health professionals.
The only beef I have with it is that there should be a pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book. Such as, "a" is pronounced as "ah" and "e" is pronounced as "a", "i" is "ee", etc. I can just hear the Americans pronouncing some of these words incorrectly and the people will not know what the Americans are talking about. Slight mispronunciations do make a difference in meaning in many words.
BUY THIS BOOK!

I loved the illustrations. They would be useful in an ESL lesson. I even learned some new terms even though i grew up speaking creole.
It is a keeper.
