27. Long Haitian Creole/English medical phrase list

This resource is a 163-page document issued by Carnegie Mellon University's Language Technology Institute (http://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/). It is most easily downloaded via the following URL: http://www.ngohaiti.com/disaster/downloads/englishpairs.pdf

The document provides English phrases that a medical professional might use or hear, in alphabetical order, and a translation into Kreyol (Haitian Creole). I'd be interested in any reader comments on the accuracy of the translations given. At first pass it looks like idiomatic turns of phrase and high frequency expressions are pretty good.

One way to use this resource as a phrase dictionary is to look up a word, such as "walk," using the Adobe Acrobat Reader "search" function. Then you can find where the Haitian translation(s) of that word show up in phrases. Walk, for example, appears in five different phrases, each time as "mache." "Pain" shows up more times than I can count, usually translated as "doulè," but infrequently as something "fe m' mal."

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.

25. An academic article featuring a linguistic overview of Kreyòl (Haitian Creole) grammar

Michel DeGraff, Professor at MIT and renown linguist, recently published a quick but comprehensive overview of a variety features of Haitian Creole grammar/syntax--verb systems, sentence structure, and more. The article/chapter is called "Haitian Creole," and is published in Comparative Creole Syntax: Parallel Outlines of 18 Creole Grammars, John Holm and Peter Patrick, eds., London: Battlebridge Publications (Westminster Creolistics Series, 7), 2007. This chapter is not designed as a language instruction text, but for those with some experience in formal linguistics, the article can shed a great deal of light on how the structure of the language works, and how structure and contextual meaning interface.
A free copy is available for download on Michel DeGraff's recent publications page at MIT: http://web.mit.edu/linguistics/people/faculty/degraff/publications.html  Visitors may find DeGraff's other recent publications debunking colonial and neocolonial myths surrounding Creole eye-opening, and a helpful frame through which to view a lot of what is still written about Creole today.
