14. Hesperian offers Kreyol (Haitian Creole) translations of medical brochures and pamphlets (free)

Hesperian Foundation has set up a new site with health brochures translated into Haitian Creole, English, French and Spanish. http://creole.hesperian.net/ Hesperian invites submission of additional resources. Beyond being useful for health education, these documents are terrific resources for learners of Kreyol for medical purposes. For example, users could read the documents without looking at the translation and try to guess words from context, then check them in the translation. Or users could highlight words in the English (or French or Spanish) that they wish to know in Kreyol, and then go comb those key phrases from the Kreyol version of the document. More advanced learners could, for example, read segments of the Kreyol documents and then try to summarize them verbally, in Kreyol, or make up questions in Kreyol that the documents would answer.
