Bought it... gave it away
28. Juli 2011
Von S. Leiphart
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book in preparation for a 3 week missions trip to Haiti I participated in during June of 2011. It is not very helpful unless you are planning on rescuing people that are stuck under a building from an Earthquake. Since the earthquake that initiated the book's writing happened a year and a half before I bought the book, it was not very useful. I gave the book away when I left Haiti. The "phrases" that it contains are almost completely involved with asking where something hurts, have you had a bowel movement recently, where can I get a bulldozer, did someone live in that collapsed house, etc. Mostly reconstruction and medical emergency related. I spent 3 weeks at a small Christian church and school 100 miles away from any earthquake damage and the book was mostly useless. Even the included dictionary had few of the words I actually tried to look up. Instead, I would recommend "Creole Made Easy" by Wally Turnbull also available here on Amazon. That book actually explains how to say things you might actually want to say. (No, I don't get a kickback by that plug. I just want people that go to Haiti to be able to talk to the wonderful people that live there.)

I have worked in Haiti with Missions International of America since 2007. This has been a great help to all of our team and, at the suggestion of our group leaders who suggested this book to me, become recommended reading for our team members and prospective team members. Thank you. Mesi anpil.

Phrases, but not much more

I recently went on a medical mission trip to Haiti and this book would be useful for someone doing relief and knew little or no Creole. If you are learning for a bigger list of Creole-English conversion, then you would be better off getting a dictionary.
