Raised on it. Not fluent in it.
Creole was the language of home. Your parents spoke it. Your grandparents spoke it. But somewhere along the way, you started responding in English and the language started slipping.
Haitian Creole for first-gens
You don’t have to be fluent to connect.
Start speaking Haitian Creole one word, one phrase, one conversation at a time. Built for those of us who understand it at home but never got to answer back.

You understand it.
You just can’t
answer back.
Family doesn’t wait.
Every call with Grann, every family party, every kompa night is a chance to connect. You don’t need perfect Creole for that. You need a place to start, and the nerve to try.

Sound familiar?
“I understand everything my mom says. I just answer her in English.
“When someone at the party switches to Creole, I freeze up.
“I want to actually talk to my grandparents, not just smile and nod.
“I’m scared I’ll say it wrong and get laughed at.
If you nodded at any of these, this course is for you. Ou pa poukont ou.

Lakou
In Haiti, the lakou is the shared yard where the whole family gathers to cook, talk and look out for each other. This is ours: a group chat where everyone learning Creole can practice out loud, together.
- Talk in Creole with people learning just like you. No judgment.
- Send voice notes and get help with how it sounds
- Ask anything: words, slang, how to say it to your grandma

the voice behind the courseGrowing up, Creole was the language of home. My parents spoke it. My grandparents spoke it. But somewhere along the way, I started responding in English.
So I decided to do something about it. I started going out in public, to Haitian restaurants, to events, to street corners, and just practicing. No script. No tutor. Just me, trying, stumbling, and slowly getting better.
I filmed it all, and first-gens who felt the same way showed up. People who hadn’t spoken Creole since childhood felt something move in them when they heard it.
That’s what this is. Not a classroom. Not a textbook. A place to start, wherever you are.

FAQ
Before you start
Who is this for?
Beginners, especially first-gen Haitian Americans who grew up hearing Creole but never got comfortable speaking it. If you understand a little (or a lot) but freeze when it’s your turn to talk, you’re in the right place.
I already understand some Creole. Is this too basic?
Understanding and speaking are different muscles. The course is built to get the words out of your head and into your mouth, with fill-in-the-blank and translation drills that make you produce Creole, not just recognize it.
How does the free trial work?
Tap “Start free” and you’re in. Module 1 (Greetings) is fully open: flashcards, quiz, fill-in-the-blank and translations. No account, no credit card. Your progress saves on your device, and you can make a free account any time to keep it on all your devices.
Is it really just one payment?
Yes. $20 once and every module is yours for life, including new lessons as they’re added. No subscription, no renewals.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It works in any browser on your phone, tablet or laptop, and your progress follows your account.
Is there a community?
Yes: The Lakou, our Instagram group chat. It’s free and open to everyone, whether you’ve bought the course or not. Tap the link, request to join, and I’ll let you in. Then practice with other learners, send voice notes and ask questions.
I have a question that isn’t here.
