Title: Let's learn Creole
First published: 1977
Description: This book was written to be a tool for English speakers to learn Haitian Creole. It is a practical guide to give the learner insight into sentence structure, pronunciation, and cultural insight. The format of the Creole used in this book is the old format, it was written prior to Haiti adopting the phonetic spelling that is used today. Rev. Dr. Oral Carl Brown Jr. and Rev. Edner A. Jeanty collaborated several years to compose this classic work on Haitian language. At the time of publication it was the most complete analytical study of Haitian grammar ever produced. This book, other language learning lessons and a companion book 999 Parol Granmoun were used by The Learning Center for Haitian Language and Culture, which Dr. Brown began to help new Creole speakers become more proficient and conversant in their new language.
