Welcome – or Maeva in Tahitian. Tune into this week’s Tahitian Moment Live for a beginner’s lesson on how to speak Tahitian. Tahitian & French are the 2 official languages in the islands with English widely spoken in all the tourism areas. However, learn some Tahitian words and watch the locals smile and appreciate your efforts to be part of their culture and country.
Join us on this Live with our special guest Moenau Rivera from Poly-Lingual.
Moenau is a Tahitian living in the US that teaches conversational Tahitian language classes to help share the love of her home islands.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn the basics like how many letters are in the Tahitian alphabet. What the different accents mean and how properly pronounce words. And of course, some of the most commonly used words for your upcoming vacation!
This week’s live is a must-watch for all Tahiti travellers to learn the basics before your trip to French Polynesia.
If you enjoy this free session, Moenau will share with you details of her more in-depth classes beginning on March 9th so you can have a deeper dive into speaking Tahitian!
Maruruuru- Thank You! See you online!
