KU, The University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS, has made available a fantastic array of Haitian Creole language instructional materials for non-commercial use.

There is a medical phrase book that goes beyond body part translations to the conversations that actually take place during patient care.
There is a "survival guide" for true beginners, introducing key features of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, with high-frequency words and phrases. The focus is largely on using language as a visitor to or traveler in Haiti.
There is also a "conversation manual" that consists of humorous dialogues built around the romance that evolves between two students of Haitian Creole. The dialogues are annotated with information about what phrases are commonly used for what purposes conversationally.
