I have been compiling all kinds of internet info not amounting to very much although I periodically peruse those websites in the hopes of updates (in Pijin). On some sites, the terms 'Pidgin', 'Pijin' and “Tok Pisin” are thrown around as the same language or at least not well differentiated.

The only 2 worthwhile links I found so far are:

(http://books.google.com/books?id=iEppbvJNQ7MC&dq=how+to+learn+pijin&source=gbs_summary_s&cad=0).

This book is easily available e.g. via Amazon, inexpensive and compact. The latest edition came out this summer.

and

This is a trilingual (Eng-Fre-Pijin) dictionary. When I first found this dictionary online many months ago, the AUD 80+ seemed rather expensive (and the French section is superfluous for me personally) but I'm starting to think that it may be worthwhile. However, I'm not able to order it as the links are broken. There may be another way to get this.

Also, for the first time, the Bible was printed in Pijin this year. I haven't wholeheartedly tried to get a hold of one as right now I have more pressing projects on the docket. This would also be a way to learn a language, especially side by side with an English version.

I look forward to getting more tips from other readers of this forum.   Thanks.
