Bonjou!

Kreyòl for Families is for parents who would like to learn Kreyòl in order to communicate with their Kreyòl speaking children and/or to learn more about their child's culture. Most of our members are in the process of or have already adopted children from Haiti. While this group is geared toward those who are just beginning to learn Kreyòl, all levels of ability are welcome. We can certainly learn much from those who are advanced or fluent in the language and culture!

Two books that many of our members have found very helpful in learning Kreyòl are:

Creole Made Easy by Wally Turnbull
(plus workbook) http://www.amazon.com or http://www.lightmessages.com

On Almost Even Ground by B.A. Bineta Baro (Bin)
http://www.kreyolforparents.com/

These books are not required for your participation in our group. However, you might find your learning is much more effective with a resource to refer to during your studies. There are also a variety of websites and sound files in our Files and Links sections.

We hope you will join us!
