Creole Made Easy gives the reader every day words and sentences. I keep this book with me while at work either in the office or field in order to get a better understanding of what is happening around me. It gives you a base that you can start to speak creole the same day you pick it up.pHowever by learning these simple 16 steps and using them each day in some sort of converstion with the Haitian people, you can start to pick up on the meanings and uses that each word has. For example, most commonly used to refer to a person, place, or it, is li. This is spelled out and used in the first lesson. pI will say that one of the most important thing to remember to learn is tann isit, wait here, this will help you out when you want your cab (top-top), to wait for you while you are either shopping or asking information.pThe dictionary in back of the book helps to explain different words and give you an idea of the English to Creole-Creole to English explaination.

Great book. A lot is covered in the 16 lessons, nice exercises to practice. The dictionary at the back is quite extensive and covers most of the words that I've wanted to look up, including some basic medical terms that I found lacking in other small dictionaries.brIf you get the pronounciation guide as well, you won't have spent much and you will be much further along in your quest to learn creole. I rarely have to call for a translator now when dealing with my patients.
Well worth the money! November 22, 2001

I have taken a face to face course in Haitian Kreyol and this book was an excellent supplement to it. Anyone could use this book and learn to speak Kreyol quickly. The glossary is in depth and includes all the most often used words and the lessons are easy to follow and do. pAn excellent book!!
Great Book! February 4, 2004

It is the only Haitian Creole translation book that I have found which makes sense of this difficult language. I would recomend to anyone who wants to learn casual Creole in preparation for travel to Haiti or while there.
A must for learning Creole February 19, 2001

I just purchased the new edition of Creole Made Easy by Wally Turnbull. I must congratulate him for a job well done. The extensive dictionary is super and certainly long overdue for speaking Creole as a second language. I was tutored in Creole with the old 1945 book, the only one available when my husband and I went to Haiti 15 years ago. It is my humble recommendation that all new non-Creole speaking missionaries MUST have this book to get started on their road to learning the language. Bravo!
