We were lucky that time because Master Teriota was a vernacular teacher, he spent most of his time teaching us how to write in Kiribati, instead of teaching us musics. During those periods one of my classmate- Sakiusa a pure Fijian boy always came first in a vernacular test. This surprises Master Teriota thus challenging us to do better than a non-Kiri boy.Ao ti na riai ni karabwa Master Teriota n ana botumwaaka ni karaoa tabena ibukiia te roro are n ara tai bwa tia rabakau ni koroboki ni VERNACULAR(Kiribati).<br/> I suggest that the VERNACULAR lessons MUST be continued. <br/> Ko Rabwa</p> I wonna be the Vernacular tea…tag:banabanvoice.ning.com,2012-09-08:2211587:Comment:1265612012-09-08T12:25:51.963ZRusiate.Jiope.Bubuhttps://banabanvoice.ning.com/profile/RusiateJiopeBubu

plis we dont need neither the I kiribac Bible nor any other source to improve our kiribati language.....what actually is the use of it all when nowadays the dominating language is English...even the kiribations themselves a conversing in english and neglecting their own language. so why should us the Banabans try n revive their language when it is not our language anyway?<br />

If we want to improve our vernacular, we have to refer to Gods word written in the bible (mother tongue)<br />
as we know that our own vernacular is lost, and we are using the Gilbertese language, so the only alternative is<br />
to learn from the Kiribati Bible, and we can know what word to be separated, and words joined, and also the<br />
correct spelling.

There you go!! The consensus it seems is let the Banabans speak and write the only language they know the way they want (adaptations included). After all it is what makes us distinctively different from anyone else!!
