[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do Haitians not understand French? I mean, it could be me, but in my work with my basic language, Cameroonians, Ghanaians, and French Canadians understand me, but not Haitians. My French is far from perfect, but I use only basic phrases in my work, yet they stare at me like I speak Martian. As mentioned, there is no such issue with other French speakers. Nothing I try to say is complicated.[/quote] Haitians speak creole so that is their native language. If you heard Haitian Creole you wouldn't understand it either. But most importantly school attendance rate in Haiti is incrediblely low and that's where metropolitan French is taught (except for Ghana where English is taught in school). The literacy rate in Haiti is 60%, far lower than the other countries you listed. [/quote]
