Tongan Language Week!

Tongan Language Week:

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog!

IALA: The Tongan culture

This week is Tongan language week and we are doing a MASSIVE celebration on Friday. The Tongan group is preparing for Friday so I think they are pretty stressed since they only have 4 days. But, today we went to the hall and they did a introduction. I can't wait until Friday to see what they have up there sleeves for us. Today, we were learning about the Tongan language. We learnt how to have a conversation with a partner. Some people were kind of stuck but we helped them! We also have to do a presentation and answer the following questions:

How many people live in Tonga as of 2018?

What population of people who are Tongan live in New Zealand?

What other words or phrases can you find/learn in Tongan.

How many different religions are there in Tonga?

What does the flag look like?

What do the colours/symbols of the flag represent?

What are some of the cultural foods from Tonga?

What are the names of the foods?
