How Do You Say "hello" in Marshallese?

Courtesy: Melanie Carbine

Marshallese language courses are being offered in Springdale this August, home to the largest Marshallese migrant population in the world. The course will be taught by Marshallese language expert Melanie Carbine who will travel to Arkansas to meet with Marshallese community leaders on best practices. She will then deliver a free public course on basic Marshallese at the Springdale Public Library and teach Marshallese language skills to interested faculty and staff at several Springdale public schools. Carbine is publisher and editor of the Marshallese language literary journal Aejemjem, which can be found on Facebook.
