I had the chance to review the final project before Pimsleur released it.
Unfortunately, the company closed down and Pimsleur had published only 10
units of the 30 they were supposed to do. It's useful for beginners (with no
prior knowledge of Haitian Creole) and you can listen to these tapes while
driving, but you should think of using manuals such as "Ann pale kreyol" by
Albert Valdman, a good one for beginning and intermediate level.Valdman's
manuel is 100% biingual, a good one also creole speakers learning English.
