Busuaguati (Bu-sua-gua-ti) and Hello! Welcome to our small educational lesson surrounding the Garifuna language and its background and cultural impact.
Students will be able to learn basic conversational words and phrases using flashcards while expanding their knowledge of where the language is derived from.
We hope to support the ongoing work of Ruben Reyes and many others who are preserving and teaching the Garifuna language to community members and beyond!
