This review is from: Haitian Kreyol in Ten Steps: Dis Pa Nan Kreyol Ayisyen-An (Paperback)

As a writer, I found this book very helpful in determining the way my characters spoke without having the ability to go to Haiti and hear it for myself. It addresses sentence structure and word usage effectively, but it is by no means a dictionary! If you want noun or verb translations, you will need another book.
