This is our sixth post which covers words and phrases in Haitian-Creole. This post covers certain animals, especially the ones that can be eaten and the ones that can be kept as pets. This post also covers words and sentences that cover death, insults, compliments, work, too much of something, needs and wants, and more… I hope you are able to use this post to increase your vocabulary and learn to form new sentences in Haitian-Creole. I have met several people who have told me it’s easy to learn the words but they find it difficult to put the words into sentences. I encourage you to use different materials to help you on your journey to becoming fluent in Haitian-Creole. Pimsleur has a Haitian-Creole Phase 1 program that contains 30 units (available on Amazon) that you can use as an additional source. As always, all questions and comments are welcome.
