    That moment when a palagi is teaching you how to speak your own language 🤣

      Yeah! Ain't that some sheeeeeesh! A palagi teaching your DUMBASS to speak your own language and he's NOT even a native.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂LMAO

    His accent is so confusing. I hear a Samoan man, an Australian, and a kid from Utah all at once.

    This man took the time to understand and speak the language. Not only that but also the culture. That’s love.

    My little sister's father is full palagi but he was adopted into a samoan family as a baby and was raised in samoa. it was so weird watching him try to speak english because you keep excepting him to speak perfect english just based on his looks but it's quite the opposite lol He's such a fob
