Many of the Haitianas speak better Spanish than most ISOC members , as well as Creole and a few some French.
If you are so inclined and are able I'd learn Creole....they'll LUV ya for it, no really!
When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
Your opinions are not my problem...
The best haitianas are the ones fresh out of Haïti. After three months in Sosúa or six months elsewhere they become dominicanized and lying and thieving becomes second nature. Ones fresh out of Haïti won't speak much, if any, Spanish (though a very few learn it at school, especially if they come from border towns)
They all speak a smattering of French but only those with a proper education (very much the minority) will know much.
Unless you intend to concentrate on Haitianas for the next few years (or the rest of your life, as in my case) it is hardly worth learning Kreyol as it will be completely useless anywhere else on the planet (except perhaps Miami and New York). However, the two good things about learning Kreyol are:
--- It is very easy, with no exceptions to rules, simple consistent grammar, written exactly as spoken with the same letter always representing the same sound and only that sound. Also the vocabulary is very small. If you have just a smattering of French that helps enormously with the nasal sounds.
--- If you only learn 20 set phrases ("How are you?" "Where do you come from?" "Are you hungry?" " How much?" "Do you take it up the ass?", etc, etc) their little faces will light up (as Apos has mentioned) and you have already saved 500 pesos. They appreciate any attempt to speak their language.
Works wonders in Montreal too!
While we are on the subject, just thought I would throw in my two cents. Recently I’ve discovered a distinct preference for the Haitian chicas. They just seem to be a bit more laid back, not in your face with their problems the way Dominicanas are. Also, the tella novella drama seams to be a lot less. Spanish is their 2nd language and they speak it way slower and as a result are easier to understand and have a conversation with if your Spanish isn’t the best. Even though they live in the DR they are outsiders here in many respects and share a bit of common ground in that way.

When I eventually get to DR I would be looking to try as many flavours as possible. So hopefully a few nationalities are to be found there
A Haitian that only speaks Creole will have a hard time comunicating with someone who speaks Quebec French. They are not as similar as you might think.
If that is a reference to Apos' comment about Montreal I would assume he was referring to the Haitian community in Canada rather than suggesting Kreyol helps you communicate with other French speakers.
Although Haitian vocabulary is 98% derived from standard French the similarities are very much masked in conversation by one or two grammatical quirks (like putting the various definite articles after the noun, rather than before it as in [all?] European languages), and the thick caribbean accent.
To the OP: I hope you enjoy the haitianas. I do (mostly) but I don't find a vast difference from dominicanas. It is one of those "all other factors being equal, I will go for the haitiana" situations. Sometimes the factors aren't equal and I find myself enjoying a dominicana instead. It's a hard life down here!
When selecting your haitiana look for those with wet and sandy ankles. They have just waded across the Rio Masacre as illegal immigrants and will be hungry and appreciative of a meat injection.

I think in general, Haitians are taller, thinner, darker, and have shorter hair. Of course this is a big generalization and many Dominican have (and Haitians do not) have these characteristics.
i think he was referring to telling the differeance between a fresh across the river haitian, and one that has been in sosua for a while...
if kreyol is "easy" to learn, i may have to give it a shot.. cuz i love my haitianas !!!
and i REALLY love it when they get into a good fuck, and start screaming/moaning in kreyol !!!
i still believe diosiris is haitian/dominican.. but she insists that she is ONLY dominican NO haitian...
my favorite haitian so far is a cute little girl named rosie, and a tall one juleysia .. mmmmm
time to book a trip !!
Also many of them speak and understand english well and they make a good girlfriend experience .
