Spoken Marshallese (Pacific and Asian Linguistics Institute. Pali Language Texts) ReviewThere are few Marshallese textbooks on the market. In fact I would hazard to guess that this is the only one readily available. It is a great introduction to the language. The only problem with the text is the use of both the traditional spelling (which is now obsolete) and the use of a strange 'phonetic' spelling. This effectively reproduces all of the dialogues and vocabulary items twice. The spelling introduced in the authors Marshallese - English Dictionary is more accurate than that in Spoken Marshallese, however Spoken Marshallese still stands as a great introduction to the language of the Marshal Islands. It starts off with short dialogues that introduce a few new words each and then goes into a set of drills that are meant to introduce and exemplify the grammar which is introduced last. Later lessons start introducing prose passages and longer dialogues.
Overall I would highly recommend this text to anyone that wants to learn Marshallese. As a note I would recommend anyone to buy the dictionary as well if they want to learn the current spelling of words. All-be-it this might not be cost effective and can be tedious, but the added bonus is that you will need a good dictionary eventually if you are serious about learning Marshallese. Plus the dictionary uses the same 'phonetic' spelling used in 'Spoken Marshallese' along side the traditional spelling so you can cross-reference entries.
Update: There is a newer introduction to Marshallese that is available for free. Look for Practical Marshallese in google. It is a great introduction to the language in the modern orthography.Spoken Marshallese (Pacific and Asian Linguistics Institute. Pali Language Texts) Overview
