Hello
What’s your name?
My name is Kelly. How are you?
Fine thank you very much.
Do you have a Chuukese skirt?
See you later.

I learned Chuukese tonight from some of my favorite teachers Philios and Lastly. I might be there favorite student only because I make funny faces when pronouncing words. At one point, I was pronouncing one word completely wrong and saying something bad in Chuukese… Whoops!!  I don’t think I’m ready to head to Chuuk yet, but with a couple of more lessons, I’ll be ready to go!

It was a fun night of laughs with my friends! I’m thankful that laughter is shared among all languages and people groups!

Much love to all!
