What motivated you to really learn Creole?

I wanted to be able to more effectively communicate with and encourage the Haitians I meet during short-term mission trips.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to learn Haitian Creole?

Soak in as much Creole as you can, and keep a positive attitude throughout!

What’s been the biggest benefit for you personally since learning to communicate in Creole?

Having the speaking and writing skills to keep in touch with my Haitian friends over the phone and via e-mail, even when I can’t be with them in person.
