This review is from: Haitian Creole-English/English-Haitian Creole Compact Dictionary (Paperback)

I bought three of these dictionaries and took them on a mission trip to Ft. Liberte, Haiti, just to see if they would help. Since then I have taken on my second trip, as well as mailed to my Haitian friends at the Jerusalem Baptist Church, over thirty copies of this helpful pocket guide. I also give them to my Friends of Ft. Liberte, kids and adults, that go to Haiti on other mission trips. The dictionaries are extremely helpful if you can't speak Haitian and are trying to bust the language barrier-especially in their beautiful country. The Haitians loved the dictionaries because of the Creole in the front-they could try to talk to us and learn English! Only problem-not enough words. Great resource. I will NOT travel to Haiti without one of these dictionaries.

THIS BOOK IS THE SIZE OF A PACK OF MATCHES. GREAT IF YOUR BACKPACKING. NOT GREAT IF YOU WANT A COMPREHENSIVE DICTIONARY.

I have been traveling to Haiti for five years with a mission group from our church. Each time I have reccommended this excellent tool for the people to bring. On the trips I have brought some to give to friends that I made so we could study and learn together. Recently I referred our April travel group to your site to order this valuable tool. We have seven high school students traveling with us and it would be extememly helpful. Over the years we have been able to share with these wonderful people and give them copies of this dictionary. Last year I found a larger size but on the same idea. I pray you will be able to supply them again. Our diocese has a special connection in Haiti and continue to travel there. Thank you for this tool.
