Hi! I'm going to be a second grade teacher of multilingual learners next year, many of whom speak Haitian Creole. On my door, I would love to have "Yay! You're here!" posted in each language spoken in my classroom. How might I write the phrase in Haitian Creole? I don't trust google to translate colloquial language. Thank you all!
So i know I’m just nosy, but i wanna learn Haitian Creole because my man be switching up. but i also heard that using Duolingo isn’t the best way to learn. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to learn? I was also trying to get friends who do speak it. But that’s hard to come in my area.
Hey r/haiti 👋,
Like many in the diaspora, I’m constantly frustrated by how much money we lose to transfer fees when sending support back home. Plus, it's getting harder and riskier for our families to travel into town just to collect cash and buy essentials.
I'm based in Montreal and I'm currently putting together a project with a local team on the ground in the South. The idea is to completely bypass the wire transfers: we just buy the groceries online from here, and the team delivers the actual food directly to their doors in under 48 hours. Zero transfer fees.
I'm trying to make sure this is actually useful for the community before expanding it further.
For those of you with family in the South:
Would love your feedback on this concept! Mèsi anpil. 🇭🇹
do y'all know how many phonemes there are in kreyol? and what they are specifically? i tried looking it up online but a lot of it varies
I am a Puerto Rican who is interested in the language. It’d help me to not only learn the language but even get some history. It’d help me a lot, thank you.
**We built something for the Haitian community — and it's finally live 🇭🇹**
**Baz** (*Zone Biznis Ayisyen*) is a directory of **3,000+ Haitian-owned and Haitian-related businesses** across the US — restaurants, lawyers, hair salons, cargo shipping, churches, tax preparers, and more.
It runs on **WhatsApp** — no app, no account needed. Just message the Baz bot, say what you need and where, and it responds in Kreyòl, English, or French.
*"manje Boston"* → Haitian restaurants near Boston. *"avoka Miami"* → immigration lawyers in Miami. Any city, any category.
We also built a website for browsing and giving Haitian businesses the visibility they deserve.
This is for the diaspora. For every Haitian entrepreneur grinding far from home.
**Vin nan Baz** 🇭🇹
Feedback welcome — we're still growing.
