some constructive criticism: you're saying hu' instead of yu' at the end of sentences. Saying hu' after words makes it possessive. For example. I na'an hu (hu making it possessive) si Juan. Si Juan yu' (Which means I am Juan). It should also be "Guahu, sumasaga yu' (instead of hu') gi iya _____" good job though =). Not a lot of people are doing this and the newer generations are losing the language.

[DonBoyso]

Habla chamorro con acento gringo. No es un modelo válido.

[amsablan]

I can tell you grew up with English. Those who speak Chamorro with an English tongue don't have a strong accent like a Saipanese or Lutanguese.

The only part I understood was the age of your children, as they pronounced as in spanish, just that you don't use the ñ letter, which equals to gn in french and italian, and the nh in portuguese. Very interesting Chamorro language!
