Culture / Editorial question
What ordinary experiences are too often left out when a community is represented in classrooms or entertainment?
In Context: a freely available Haitian Creole textbook treats daily life as worthy of study. That is a cultural choice worth noticing.

Free access helps. People still need a way to practice with somebody.
That's an opening for a service around the resource without putting the resource itself behind a new paywall.
A textbook with finding a roommate in it sounds a lot more useful than another introduction that starts with a disaster.
Ordinary life is a cultural subject. People deserve vocabulary for dinner and work as well as crisis.
