Why Learn Haitian Creole?

Spoken primarily in Haiti, the Haitian Creole language is also used in other French-speaking areas of the Caribbean. Developed with a French vocabulary and a Volta-Congo grammar (used mostly by the Igbo and Fongbe peoples of West Africa), Haitian Creole also has some influences from Portuguese, English, Spanish, and other languages.
The language’s 13 million speakers are largely concentrated in Haiti, but Haitian Creole is a recognized minority language in the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. Despite its roots, given its unique grammar, Haitian Creole is not fully intelligible from the French language.

Learn Haitian Creole with the Pimsleur App
Speak Haitian Creole with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Haitian Creole. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Haitian Creole language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
