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 or Cassette Tapes
A complete set of recordings to accompany the Ann pale kreyòl text is available as a 10-CD set (also available as a 12-cassette 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 (or cassettes) 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

“Ann pale kreyòl is consistent and covers the range of topics necessary to learn HC.”
