Ann pale kreyòl
Elementary and Intermediate Haitian Creole
Ann pale kreyòl is a comprehensive set of teaching materials designed to provide learners with a thorough grounding in the sounds, grammar, and vocabulary of Haitian Creole. Lessons contain dialogue materials, grammar sections, and extensive practice materials progressing from drills to communicative activities. The text includes a guided introduction to the official spelling system, varied listening comprehension sections, keyed exercises, and reading selections covering aspects of Haitian geography and history. The book is illustrated and contains a 1,200 word Creole-English glossary. Designed for persons who wish to acquire a working command of the language sufficient to communicate with monolingual speakers, it is eminently suitable for use in formal courses as well as self-instruction. Ann pale krèyol has been extensively tested by several U.S. Peace Corps groups in Haiti and in courses taught at Indiana University. (264 pages + 14 pages of front matter, soft bound)

Ann pale kreyòl CDs
A complete set of recordings to accompany the Ann pale kreyòl text is available as a 10-CD set. These recordings contain all of the material in the text in addition to the dialogues and listening comprehension exercises for each lesson. A set of two CDs is also available. This smaller set contains only the dialogues and listening comprehension exercises for each lesson.

“Your Haitian Creole material is excellent. I have been to Haiti 4 times and your books have helped me learn and understand the language."
—Dale Moyers, April 25, 2004
