Kreyòl (Haitian or Louisiana Creole)

Does anyone here know of any resources for learning either Haitian or Louisiana Creole?

The two languages are actually quite different, but I'm not sure if there will be sources readily available for learning Haitian Creole, and I am interested in Louisiana Creole, so either would be fine.

If possible, I'd much prefer online resources. I have a Linux-based system and can't download many computer programs. Books are also okay, if you can vouch for them; I'm worried about spending too much money (when I don't actually have much money) on a language learning book that turns out to not be very good.

Also, I've been wondering: Might it be a good idea, if I'm not able to find resources for Kreyòl immediately, to concentrate on learning French instead? Both Haitian Creole and Louisiana Creole are French-based creole languages, and they actually have some notable similarities and a lot of words that are just slightly different to the French ones. What do you guys think - would that be a legitimate strategy for learning a creole language?

      Here's a good website with both a dictionary and real-world word or phrase usages
      By John Ulmer
      I often have questions about French usage that can't be solved by a dictionary, so I have been relying on Linguee quite a lot.
      For each word or phrase you can get a long list of real-world usages pulled from the Web.
      It covers many languages, though I can only vouch for the French content as I haven't used it for any other languages so far.

      What is Lingodeer?
      Many of you might be familiar with the app called "Duolingo." Lingodeer is very similar, but alongside the same style of gamified lessons that Duolingo provides: Lingodeer offers professionally made grammar notes on every single skill, features full native audio recordings on every word and sentence, has built in grammar review features, has a global leaderboard (And friends leaderboard) for competition, features video stories at the end of every skill, has built in pronunciation practice (Sentence shadowing capabilities), and features 10 languages to learn (with Italian on the way) taught in 13 languages. The app is available on iOS and Android. 

      If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me (I run their online forums as volunteer work and have followed the app since it was released, I have also completed the first half of Japanese and Korean on the app).

      Hi,
      Has anyone experienced learning a language by reading bilingual stories?
      What kind of books would you recommend for children to learn a language?
