How to learn Tongan

 Interesting things about the Tongan language.

              Letters: A, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, NG, O, P, S, T, U, V, ‘

              Vowels: A, E, I, O, U

              Consonants: F, H, K, L, M, N, NG, P, S, T, V, ‘

 

To learn Tongan, you should keep in mind three behaviors (mindsets).

              Mutual Respect = Faka’apa’apa

              Loyalty and commitment = Mateaki’I Me’a

              Humility & Generosity = Loto Too

 

To learn Tongan, you should find a purpose for why you learn it. Find a personal tutor or online materials. The website says Tongan has no special characters, so Tongan is not so difficult to learn.

 April 17 th was my first-day taking classes at Otago Polytechnic. We did a self-introduction presentation on that day. Honestly, that was easy for us. We had a lot of pictures, some events in my life that are able to talk in front of people, and skills for presentation. I’m pretty sure we are all unique, in both good meaning and bad meaning, so when we deliver presentations, that was so much fun. Next day, we will make a report about Otago Polytechnic’s academic policy. I think it is so many things to write about, but I look forward to it tomorrow.

On April 19th, we delivered the presentation again. Honestly, it was so bothering to do. This presentation's theme was the differences between Japan and New Zealand. So, we researched it in the morning and made slides. In the afternoon, we delivered it. I think I mentioned it in a previous diary, but we've got some skills for the presentation, so we didn't take so long to finish the class. The next day, we're going to get to the museum. Sounds fun to me, I'm looking forward to visiting there!

 On April 8th, I visited the camp in which my host family participated. This camp started on Friday night and finished next Monday. I didn't join there because I had a bit sick. However, I thought I should visit there at least, so I went there. There were lots of Tongans and I couldn't understand their language. They all are Methodist, so they were praying when I arrived. It took so long same as yesterday, so I slept one time while praying. After eating lunch, we played volleyball with them. That moment was the only time that I had fun with them and understood how nice they are. I'm convinced sports are one of the best ways to know each other.
