Learn Haitian Creole Fast. Know It Forever!
Byki is the fun and addictive way to learn a language. Byki locks Haitian Creole words and phrases into your memory so you can recall them perfectly and remember them forever. Over 3 million people have used Byki to learn a language on their computer, and now the same proven learning method is available in an iPhone app!
Byki leverages the fact that people learn foreign languages by collecting words and phrases in their memory, like items in a basket. The more items you master, the more effective you will be at speaking Haitian Creole and the easier it will be for you to become fluent.
Byki Haitian Creole will teach you over 1000 words and hundreds of phrases with an easy, addictive, and lightning-fast 3-step learning process. Plus, Byki Haitian Creole for iPhone now integrates with Byki.com’s List Central Community to give you free access to hundreds of additional Haitian Creole flash card lists including chapter vocabulary from popular textbooks and Haitian Creole Byki lists created by other Byki users. Owners of the Byki Deluxe software can also create their own Haitian Creole study lists on their Mac or PC and download them to their iPhone app!
Building vocabulary is only part of language learning. Now Byki helps you use your new vocabulary in real world context. Byki’s Twitter integration lets you see how the words and phrases you are learning are being used in real time and in context on Twitter! Note: This feature requires a network connection.
Byki also tracks your learning progress with statistics on the number of items you have learned and lets you test your knowledge with quizzes.

The Haitian Creole language is spoken by the inhabitants of Haiti, and has evolved from a combination of French and several African languages, such as Wolof, Fon, and Ewe. Most Haitian Creole vocabulary words were derived from French. However, such words are not always immediately recognizable, due to differences in spelling and pronunciation. Haitian Creole also has a substantial number of words from the other languages that went into its creation, including vocabulary taken from various African languages. More recent borrowings have also come from English and other languages.
Also available for Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Tagalog.

I'm going to Haiti in two weeks to assist in medical aid and general relief. This has been so helpful. Mesi!
Thanks
I have never written a review before but felt I must for this.
I am Haitian and have family there who were/are affected by the quake. Thank you to all that are giving your time to go and help. A special thank you to the developers for providing this... and for free.
Awesome
I'm just back from a medical mission in Jimani on the Haiti border. This app was great for getting me ready and for while I was there. Thanks for making it free for the relief effort. Make a pro version and I'll buy! (not sure how you could make it better)
