Haitian Creole Dictionaries: 
Recommendations for learners of Haitian Creole

The Creole Institute’s two dictionaries have different objectives. The Haitian Creole-English Bilingual Dictionary (HCEBD) is designed to assist in reading kreyōl texts or listening to speech; the Learner’s Dictionary is designed to assist users of English in constructing (speaking or writing) kreyōl utterances. It does contain a Creole-English index, but that is not the same as a Creole-English dictionary. For American learners, a combination of the Learner’s Dictionary and the HCEBD provides the best alternative, and the two are available as a set at reduced cost.
