Learn Marshallese

I often get asked from my friends at home, "So what language do people speak in the Marshall Islands?" And I promptly respond, "Marshallese." The follow up question usually is something along the lines of, "Is Marshallese a real language? Where does it come from?"

Today I begin a series of videos that will teach you some basic Marshallese words and phrases. The speakers and singers in this video series are my students from NVTI in Majuro, Marshall Islands.

Enjoy! :)

Hi,

Please visit the link I have provided.

Since you have found this blog, you probably already know that I am teaching English in the Marshall Islands from July 2007-June 2008. I plan on using this blog as a way to keep my sanity and as a way to keep in touch with the outside world.
