Learning objective
Explain kreyòl spelling, reproduce the worked example and justify a decision in the case study.
Before you begin
Read a short instruction; for calculations, add, subtract and multiply.
Understand
Haitian Creole spelling follows sounds. Letter groups such as ch, ou, an, en and on represent sounds. The grave accent distinguishes e from è and o from ò.
Worked example
“Lekòl la louvri.” Lekòl uses ò; louvri contains ou. Reading aloud connects spelling with sounds without copying French spelling.
Analysis and common mistakes
Creole has its own rules: the French spelling école does not replace lekòl in a Creole sentence.
Case study — reasoning
Write a sentence using lekòl, liv and timoun: “Timoun yo pote liv nan lekòl la.” Check spellings in a reliable Creole dictionary.
