Spoken
Chamorro Language Course (Book). University of
Hawaii Press. 376
pages.
Spoken Chamorro is designed to
enable the student to learn to speak and understand the
Chamorro language the way native speakers do in their everyday
activities. This second edition has been revised to incorporate the
spelling conventions adopted by the Marianas Orthography Committee in
January 1971, and suggestions made by teachers who have
used the text in the classroom.
The basic material in the text remains
unchanged, the work of the author and Pedro M. Ogo, principal of Rota
Elementary and High School, who is a native speaker of the
language. As much as possible, the lessons exclude regionalisms,
presenting the language as it is heard generally on Guam, Saipan, Rota,
and elsewhere throughout the Mariana Islands.
