32. Radio Stories about Haiti, including some segments in Creole

"The Story" is a National Public Radio program where the host talks to both everyday people and famous leaders about the compelling stories of their lives. In the series of stories interviewing people from Haiti, there are quite a few segments in Creole/Kreyol, which are then repeated like an interpreter. The Wednesday, June 23 program featured a mother surviving under a makeshift tarp talking about daily life in this context, followed by Dean Hilda Alcindor, director of the only 4-year school of nursing in Haiti, the Faculté des Sciences Infirmières de Léogane (http://haitinursing.org).

In Resource 19, a radio station out of Boston is listed. In addition, Live 365 at http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?genre=search&searchdesc=haiti provides access, some of it free, to a variety of radio stations out of Haiti and in Haitian American communities in the United States. One of these stations that more consistently plays Haitian music is at http://www.live365.com/stations/konpamaniax Konpa Mix Radio.

26. Haiti Hub free online Kreyol (Haitian Creole) classes via Skype

http://www.haitihub.com/ is the home of free online classes in spoken, conversational Haitian Creole. Right now, there is one teacher, and a second teacher is about to start, so classes have started up again post-earthquake. The program is located in the U.S. The curriculum is based on the Wally Turnbull book Creole Made Easy, so participants are expected to get themselves a copy of that book. All classes are delivered at a specific time via Skype, and registration is limited to one instructor and four students on Skype conference call at one time.
