Our friend Dabit Taitingfong teaches a beginner class on Sundays, and he was gracious enough to let me and Jay attend this week’s lesson so we could observe how he teaches. It was a great session, where Dabit had everyone listen to the Chamorro song Nå’i Yu’ Un Råtu by Gerard De Leon Guerrero. First, he had everyone listen to the song without the lyrics. Immediately after we listened to it again while reading the Chamorro lyrics, which is great for building listening comprehension. Then he went around the room and had everybody translate the Chamorro lyrics before listening to the song a final time, encouraging everyone to sing along.

In this post we have Chamorro lyrics and an English translation of Nå’i Yu’ Un Råtu by Gerard De Leon Guerrero. Happy listening!
