Review - Kiribati (Gilbertese) Peace Corps Language Handbooks by Steven Trussel - #8

Hi guys! Back, sorry for the long delay. Thanks to all new subscribers and readers.

Today I have some exciting new library books to share.

I was fortunate to get the opportunity to access these hard-to-find Peace Corps Language Handbooks for the Kiribati (Gilbertese) language.

Kiribati (pronounced Kiribahss) is a cute little island nation in the center of the Pacific Ocean comprised of atolls and a coral island.

Their language, spoken by around 100,000 people, is of the Nuclear Micronesian branch, and is VSO.
(More at Wikipedia and Omniglot)

In this video I share about how I was able to loan these handbooks via the Interlibrary Loan of a local university. A reminder to anyone involved in an academic institution to really take advantage of the library access you have.

Usually I would put a link to buy these, but they really can't be purchased.

Instead, here is the website of the author Steven Trussel, who has the Grammar and Communication handbooks up to view online free.

The site also has a ton of great info on Kiribati and other topics as well (including Nauru).

Shout out and thank you to Steven Trussel for his work with Kiribati and for the insight over email! :)

Remember to comment, rate and subscribe!

Feel free to email me here as always.

Below is the video or you can watch it at this link.

Sorry that this video is a bit odd. I recorded it kind of split-up and was a little out of it...haha, enjoy!
