Fanachu continues to provide resources and to develop new ones to help sustain the Chamoru language and teach it to current and future generations. Fanachu recorded more than 40 episodes of Kuentos Guåhan with Siñot Kin Concepcion. There are also dozens of short lessons from Cailey Cabiles that teach basic sentences and grammar. Desiree Perez has just started a new Fino’ Chamoru segment for i ManNåna and we even launched MANsplaining (Lao Chamoru na Klasi Nai) last year for those indiginerds out there! There are six episodes out now, with another one coming soon.
