Tongan Language Week 2021



Malo e lelei famili!

Fefe hake?  Sai pe?  

Yesterday marked the beginning of Tongan Language Week 2021 here in Aotearoa.  This year’s theme for Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e lea faka-Tonga - Tonga Language Week is Fakakoloa 'o Aotearoa 'aki 'a e Ako Lelei, which means enriching Aotearoa with holistic education.

The theme serves as a conversation starter on the importance of holistic education, diverse forms of learning and how Aotearoa can benefit from it. 

To help build up your Tongan vocabulary this week, let's start with something small.  Let's try counting from one to ten!  Watch the video below to help you learn to count from one to ten in Tongan. 

Come on, give it a go!  You might even find that some of the numbers sound similar to another language/s you know or have heard.

Ofa atu
