If you’re going to be involved with any of the Haitian humanitarian efforts, you need to know about this great free resource from LearnOutLoud and Dr. Paul Pimsleur.   From the LearnOutLoud website (my bold added for skimming):

Compact Haitian Creole, a stand-alone 10-lesson (5 hours) program, teaches beginning language strategies for essential communication and traveling needs, plus an introduction to reading…  What is the Pimsleur difference? The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Haitian Creole structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Haitian Creole can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.

Disclaimer:  I have not personally reviewed this product, but I know that LearnOutLoud regularly provides great quality stuff!

Are you planning to provide the complete version for Kindle since we can’t access the web from it?”
