In 1961, both my grandparents died within a month & my family sold their house to a man with the last name of Hill! He told us that he trained with Clark Gable in aerial gunnery school, presumably before his promotion to Second Lieutenant & said that Gable was a "great guy" who wanted everyone to treat him equally! Don't forget Gable was 42 years old when he joined the military, so at that age, could have sat out WWII, like many other movie stars did, but chose to do his part! R.I.P. Clark!

That's a terrific perspective, Ron. I'm so glad you shared that. Part of me wishes that everyone had to serve in the military. We'd probably have a lot more cohesion as a nation.

Alak, I wish I could advise you, but I haven't lived there in nearly 15 years. I'm not sure what the rules are in terms of visas. You would have to get in touch with the government there. My hunch is that you would need to have a job there in order to stay in Kiribati for a long length of time. But I could be wrong. Good luck.

Hi, does anyone here know of a good way to learn and be fluent in Gilbertese? I don't mean phrases and greetings, but understanding and comprehension. Evidently there are English speakers fluent in the language, but are there any good resources? Any information would be very appreciated.
@ericlarson6794
8 жыл бұрын
+scatdawg123 I think to be fluent in most languages you actually have to go and live among the people for a while so you can use the language every day. Just my personal opinion. Some polyglots can learn through online dictionaries and what-not, plus some personal lessons. There are a lot of Gilbertese in Australia, New Zealand, and scattered around the U.S. as well. You just have to network and track them down and see if they will take the time to speak with you and correct your Gilbertese.

+Eric Larson I don't know any Pacific Islanders of any nation in my stretch of the woods. Are there any books or videos? How did you learn? Are there ways of at least gaining some sort of comprehension and literary knowledge without living in Kiribati?

I lived there almost two years and still only became somewhat proficient. There are few resources but you can find some online and others at large research libraries with a strong linguistics section.

Thanks for watching, Makhalaification. The filming took place in June 2003 as I was wrapping up my Peace Corps service. Some copies of the finished movie made it to the country later that year. I am not sure how many outer islands saw copies of the movie before Peace Corps pulled out of Kiribati in about 2006. I looked for ways to distribute the movie internationally, but none were really affordable, until KZitem started allowing full-length movies (prior to that, one had to upload a feature movie in parts). It was a lot of fun to make and gratifying to get it out in the world. Please share with friends if you feel so moved!

Yes, the technical quality isn't very high, but it's most important that people connect with the story. Thank you for watching and for commenting. Please share with others who might enjoy!
