Kledev Community Center and Creole classes
Emergent Creole classes every weekend in a row, starting this fall 09
We offer you in a short time the very basics of that beautiful language spoken by the Haitians...We cut off your fustration by arming you with the basic words and phrases...
Many groups of missionaries from different churches in the US make multiple trips to Haiti, more specificly to a sister parish in the countryside every year. Most of the times, they are inolved in various projects with the church and spend days or weeks at the parish.
We know some visitors are eager to be able to communicate even briefly with a local directly. Even with an interpreter, the satisfaction is not complete for the interaction is not direct. We are located 10 mns northeast of the airport and we can arrange to pick you up at no extra cost
Stop here before you continue on the road...
We have a program very practical and intense that teaches you more than just the language in just a weekend. You will be amazed and proud of yourself before you take the road to the sister parish in the country with a better sense of the language and the people and a neat understanding of the basic words. You will be able to say them and understand them! We recommend that you stay at our center in our lovely shade and natural breeze from the mango trees and almonds and experience the language right there in your rooms, the kitchen, the showers, the beautiful outside gazebos for everything will be labeled for you in Creole and you will hear what you learn and YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SAY IT!
