Pacific Families - and in particular our tamariki - have been hit hard by COVID-19. The uncertainty around our young tamariki in regards to their learning and development is yet to be fully realised, however through innovation and storytelling we hope to address the cultural, social, health and learning needs of our young Pacific Learners.
Through a series of informative, funny and inspiring animated videos, we aim to tell stories through the eyes of young children that ultimately resonate with our Pacific families and tamariki.
Our characters all have unique personalities; Tevita loves reading and technology, Sione can get distracted and often distracts others around him, Talia is organised and has everything planned out, and Mele is a girl that loves fashion and makeup and Anaru loves sport, all kinds of sports.

Love you
Why is a white person teaching 😢 not even right please🚫🙅
Hi
Tulou same here in Samoan ❤❤
This is wonderful to have for our kids that grew up over see. However, you need to have the glottal stop and the line across the vowel (faka'ua & toloi) to make the word correct. Like it's Mālō e lelei not Malo e lelei. Because adding those two can change the pronunciation and the meaning of the words.
Thank you.
Feeling blessed that i can share this with my granddaughter ❤ thank you 😊
Not 100% accurate.
Love it! I wish I had this site ten years ago-‘y tongan was limited to a few key phrases and words. Thank you for doing this really well produced video
As a white Tongan I’m learning the language

The three most underrated words in Tongan - maasi'i , 'oiaue , and 'e 😂
Im a Brazilian that live in the USA and is learning Togan. WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?
I Fiji too
as a Tongan TEU MATA MA'A TONGA HOKA
I’m Fijian and I really want to learn about my country I’m only 9 I’m learning to speak Fijian Māori and Chinese maddarin help me by liking ❤❤❤(not forcing)
I don't recommend learning all those languages at once. As someone who speaks three languages fluently I highly encourage you to focus on learning one language at once. Remember that you can only fully learn with immersion. Immersion is the only real way to learn a language. Also remember that a language is a flame that must be kept alive. A language is like a vehicle or a home, it needs to be maintained. It's like a muscle, if you don't use it, you lose it. You always have to be speaking and listening to your languages or else you will forget them little by little
Pleased to see this resource and a round of applause from me too BUT why not use the punctuation correctly each time? The toloi (macron) and fakau'a (glottal) are important cues on how to pronounce the words correctly especially for learners.
am starting to learn fiji because am planning to visit this beautiful country this year vinaka
I'm from fiji lol
Just speak english
just sub

Loving this thanks, we have visited many times and love to use the local language as much as possible to show respect. Quick question, if Yadra means ( Good Morning ) and Vinaka means ( Thankyou ) how does Yadra Vinaka = Good Morning ?
Vinaka is also use as "good"
