We facilitate three Chamorro practice groups every week on Zoom, where we gather to immerse ourselves in Chamorro materials and speak with one another in the language. We use Chamorro as much as possible and encourage attendees to try it out, but learners who are still building their conversational ability are warmly welcome to use English whenever they need. You’re invited to participate at your own pace — listening, observing, or speaking as you feel comfortable.
