Aprann Kreyòl Ayisyen
This post covers the Kitchen in Haitian-Creole. You will also learn different objects that one finds in a kitchen. This is one of a few videos to help you learn Haitian-Creole that cover different rooms in a house. We have already published videos that cover a house, living room, and bedroom. Our next videos will cover dining room and bathroom. In addition to using this website and my YouTube channel, I recommend that you use other resources to help you learn Haitian-Creole. I encourage you to use other resources like books, CDs, practice listening, and of course make conversations with others who already speak Haitian-Creole.
