This has a very funny chapter and I am only a beginner. I would like:

This is on my wish list, yet it is so expensive!


Has anyone any suggestions? Audio cd's and helpful beginners book as it is always good to have more than one reference.

Hi

In Mauritius, you can find some related books in bookstores...restricted choice still

However, the two examples you listed seem to be interesting.

I did look for a creole - English dictionary when I was last there. Can't wait to learn the basics and become advanced.

Try googling: diksonyer kreol morisyen

You can then download a 1.2MB pdf file described as:
'A small dictionary in alphabetical order with words of Mauritian Creole translated into English. Included example sentences. Formatted to be viewed on mobiles.'

It helps if you know a bit of French, as lots of creole words have their origins in that language.
