Details

Eighty lessons on vocabulary, verbs and everyday conversation. Kreyòl has no verb conjugation and a fully phonetic spelling, which makes it one of the fastest languages to start reading — the difficulty is entirely in vocabulary and in the particles that carry tense.

Haitian Creole taught in Spanish — for the Dominican and Latin American audience.
