Your first course in a weekend
25 min read · Beginner · Guide 1 of 9
You will make one small course: 3 lessons, 1 quiz, in English, French and Kreyòl. Small and finished beats big and planned. Each step below links to the guide that shows how.
What you need
- One thing you know well enough to teach in 15 minutes.
- Claude or ChatGPT. A free plan works.
- A fluent Kreyòl speaker who can give you about 1 hour on Saturday evening.
- A phone with a camera, or an ElevenLabs and a HeyGen account.
Saturday morning: plan (1 hour)
Pick ONE result your learner gets. For example: "After this course, you can price a product you make at home." Then outline 3 lessons with the prompt in guide 2. Stop at 3.
Saturday afternoon: write (2 hours)
Write one script per lesson with guide 3. Each script is 3 to 5 minutes when read aloud. Read each one aloud once and cut what you stumble on.
Saturday evening: translate (1 hour + the speaker's time)
Make the French and Kreyòl versions with guide 4. Send the Kreyòl version to your speaker tonight, so it is back by Sunday morning.
Sunday morning: voice and video (3 hours)
Record yourself on your phone, or use ElevenLabs (guide 5) and HeyGen (guide 6). Use the checked Kreyòl text only. Never record a Kreyòl line the speaker has not seen.
Sunday afternoon: publish (1 hour)
Put the course on Etensèl with guide 7. Give the course a final quiz of 5 questions. Then send the invite link to 5 people you trust and ask what was unclear.
