Rachel C.

What motivated you to really learn Creole?

I wanted to be able to communicate directly with the people we minister to in Haiti.

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

Keep your goal in mind – remember why you are doing this, and don’t give up when it gets difficult.

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

I’ve come to appreciate language and communication in general far better, and come to appreciate and admire those who are attempting to communicate with me in a second language.
