Excellent Grammatical Hints, OK Glossary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Topping: Spoken Chamorro REV Ed (Pali Language Texts) (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book on how to speak "perfect" chamorro, then this book is for you. If you are looking for an indepth glossary for Chamorro to English translations, then this is NOT the book for you. It gives indepth descriptions and practice lessons for speaking the language in everyday conversation and details on conjugating verbs. However, I recommend other books (such as the Chamorro to English Translation by Donald Topping) if you just need to "look up" or translate words into English.

A Great Intro to the Language,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Topping: Spoken Chamorro REV Ed (Pali Language Texts) (Paperback)
This is a great introduction to the Chamorro language. It's focus is on the spoken language, but I would imagine that you could use it to at least get a start on the written language. The lessons are presented in a very logical and clear fashion. There are no exercises, but the drills take their place. With regard to the drills, it could be seen as the textbook is 'old fashioned,' but I think it's as good as newer textbooks out there for other languages. The only thing that I would have liked is some audio tapes/cds so I could hear the language and be able to pronounce it correctly. Overall though this is a great beginning to the study of Chamorro!
