(Do you want to learn the Chamorro language?)

•Ask a grandparent or relative who speaks the language to teach you.
•Ask a Chamorro teacher at the Department of Education to give you or your children private tutoring lessons.
•Immerse yourself in the language, hang out with Chamorro-speaking friends or family members, listen to Chamorro music, label items in your home with Chamorro words.
•Read Chamorro language books -- some are accompanied by cassette tapes or compact discs.
•There's a short Chamorro language segment called "Let's Learn Chamorro" that airs 7 p.m. every day on KGTF TV Channel 12 by Katherine Aguon.
•Take a Chamorro language class at the University of Guam or the Guam Community College.
•Practice. Don't be embarrassed that you might mispronounce a word or use the wrong word, just speak.
•In learning the Chamorro language, choose a theme -- like family -- and learn all the different aspects of family in Chamorro.
