 Neat, compact dictionary... Jan 26, 2010
By Joy
I was very happy to find this dictionary for sale. It seems that most Haitian Creole dictionaries are somewhat dated and this one was actually a newer version which is important as Haitian Creole has been evolving over the past decade or so... It is very neat, compact and easy to use. At the end of the actual dictionary part of the book they include a phrasebook section that is organized well and helpful for putting together conversations and even looking at the grammar of sentences in Creole. All in all I was very satisfied with this purchase and have found it very helpful to me in my study of Haitian Creole.

 Basic At Best ... Apr 25, 2010
By Harleychichd
To anyone considering this book, I would suggest doing some research beforehand as this is a basic vocabulary/phrase book. After purchasing this book, I realized there was an advanced version by the same author. Although not an entire waste of money, the contents are limited. At the same time, to have an actual written dictionary of the Kreyol vocabulary is an accomplishment on its own.

phrase book/dictionary Dec 24, 2008
By Barbara A. Charland
This was a very informative dictionary/phrase book.
I already had the dictionary but this phrase book is a plus for anyone wanting to speak and learn more Haitian Creole.
Sent in timely manner.

Nice pocket size but endlessly frustrating Nov 03, 2010
By B. Lovelace
I got this to replace Wally Turnbull's dictionary in the back of Creole Made Easy. I like the small size but find it endlessly frustrating because it never seems to have the word I am looking for. Invariably I have had to dig out Turnbull's work to get a word. Buy it for the pocket size but realize that it doesn't work as a sole source for working Creole.
For example, this morning I needed to say, "The floor is slippery would you please mop it?" pretty basic. Well there was nothing for "floor" nothing for "mop" and nothing for "slippery". Fortunately, I found them all in "Spoken Haitian Creole" by Marc Prou a book I will review in the future. BTW I sold my Turnbull book to an aid worker who had no dictionary so I no longer have his wonderful dictionary.

Very useful dictionary! Jun 13, 2010
By Chantal Pierre
"Mlle Maladroite"
This is must-have for anyone traveling to Haiti. This has a dictionary as well as phrases needed in various situations: traveling, restaurants, greetings, etc. I kept this in my backpack at all times when I was in Haiti and used it often. While the dictionary is not complete, it has a lot of useful words in it.
