Pimsleur Haitian Creole Compact

What customers say about the Pimsleur Haitian Creole Audios:

Wonderful preparation for my trip to Haiti:
With the help of these 10 lessons and a (very) basic background in French, I found I was able to converse and understand a great deal of Creole in Haiti. And I was not there as a tourist, but for business, where I was speaking to people from different regions of the country and across the economic spectrum. I've never had a gift for languages (I did terribly in school with French class) but these audios literally turned me into a Creole speaker. I was in Haiti for 8 days and at the end of it, I could have (basic) conversations on a variety of topics. Its amazing what you pick up once you are immersed; but to have the basic structure and some basic vocabulary under your belt before that immersion, is key. Personally, I would have loved more audios, more lessons, a little more instruction (some of the basics like verbs like 'to have' were left out) and if Pimsleur released more lessons I would eagerly buy them. But bottom line, I was impressed with the instruction strategy and I really learned quickly; if they could get ME to learn a new language, anyone could learn.

Learning the Easy Way !
This was indeed an easy way to learn the language. Simply by listening, you will have the foundation of speaking with/to a native Haitian. I was constantly commended on my pronounciation and context. I was also laughed at when I said certain words. I learned that depending on where you came from in Haiti the wording is very, very different. The speakers on the audios were clear! I would suggest this to all who are interested in learning the Haitian Creole language....
