Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa – Samoan Language Week

Talofa lava! This week, we celebrate Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa – Samoan Language Week.

The theme for this year is ‘Tautua i le alofa, manuia le lumana’i – Serve in love for a blessed future,’ reminding us to strive with values of alofa (love), fa’aaloalo (respect), and vā fealoa’i (respectful relationships). Samoan is the third most spoken language in Niu Sila (New Zealand) following te reo Māori and English, and the second most spoken language in Aukilani (Auckland). Fa’afetai lava Isaac Tai for our wonderful ula lole.
