Hello my dear friend.

I completely agree with you saying that the administration is the reason for Haiti's downfall.

But as that being true, let us not forget that the people of Haiti also has some blames with the lack of education and the lack of drive to make drastic changes.

We need reiterate the slogan "you can teach an old dog new tricks" which many of you reading this would agree that many elderly Haitians are VERY stubborn and by an educated person trying to reason with them. It's harder than pulling teeth.

We need to capture the young mind that is unspoiled and guide them to a new age of educated young minds that will one day take what they have acquired and blossom Haiti to success.

The children are the future.

I strongly feel that, with the knowledge I have acquired while in the US. I have to capacity to change lives in Haiti.

As I was a child in Haiti with so much potential but not giving the guidance and the proper tools, I would not have been able to write this. Final thoughts...Creole is not a true language...if studied correctly..it is an uneducated way of speaking and writing French with influence of other language mainly by word of mouth being repeated after and after which becomes permanently fix in everyday speech.

ei im not great in creole (kreyol) but here it goes....okasyon (occasion)--bondie (Bon Dieu)--aksepte (accepter) tout lèzòt(Tous les autres)fèt (fête)--anivèsè(anniversaire).

...enuff, haha...enough...C'est assez, please learn how to spell, please teach the people how to spell properly, creole is just a spelling bee nightmare of french.

Creole is an excuse for not properly learning how to speak or spell in French.

We need to educate the young minds of Haiti to learn how to spell and speak properly...this is really sad. WE REALLY NEED HELP.

The topic is: French should not be official

Well as for everyone here, I completely understand both sides of the argument. As for what I think would be a great solution, might not be plausible for many. I believe the first thing we should do as Haitians for Haiti should be, we should use the > >

You do have valid points on using French in Haiti. But I believe we can embrace both French and Haitian Creole equally. A third language as a non-native tongue could be studied from grammar school and on. Marjorie Middy > >

Ralph, You make a good point, unfortunately, language is not the problem in Haiti, it has never been, and never will be. The way, you presented your argument and according to many Haitians, it's like if English becomes the official language i > >

Tiba, I agree with you that Haiti's down fall is not language per se but poor administration is the true culprit. However, I have to disagree with you with French usage in Haiti. True, French is spoken mainly by very few as a main language. Everyb > >

well i sort of agree with some of what you said. First I would like to say that, if another language was spoken in Haiti aside from Creole. They would be some kind of unity between the have and the have not. Second, Businessmen in Haiti could vent > >

French is not Haitian second or First language, period. Just some of us who pretend to speak French think that Creole is not a language, but to me, Jean Pe, Creole is a normal language. The other creole languages in the world may be a dialect, > >

orthography is not the problem since creole syntactically is closer to English than French. That is why the yankee learn creole faster than French or Spanish. Go to the following sites and translate any text you want from French to Spanish then to I > >
