  • Trainer teaches trainee how to speak the language by explain what each animal is by type and size.
  • It is also an important way of learning language because not only do you have to learn how to speak it but also how to explain to elders what you caught/ saw.
  • Most hunters from my family explained hunting/fishing trips by stories because of lack of technology in the 80's-90's, therfore they only explained it in Chamorro.
