I am full samoan, born and raised in n.america. I currently live in an area with a good amount of not only samoans, but also tongans(language is very similar). I have friends that are both samoan and tongan, when i’m with my samoan friends, they speak samoan. when i’m with my tongan friends, they speak tongan. i’ve learned both of these languages by listening and conversing with them! because the languages are similar, it made it easier for me to remember. i do suggest hanging out with someone straight from the islands.

another way i’ve learned samoan is by listening to samoan songs! i can sing almost every line, every word..it helps with memorization and pronounciation. then, i’ll try to find out the meaning of the song or the translation..then find common lyrics in other songs.

another way i learned to pronounce words is by reading something in samoan. i read the book of mormon in samoan, and had an english version handy to “translate” lol..you can choose any literature you find.

My names maximus. I’m full samoan. I can understand the majority of the language but I cannot speak it. Don’t ask. I would like to be able to speak samoan to my parents one day.
