During the school holidays, I took a Samoan paper.
It was a great opportunity learning Samoan Language and getting to know more about the Samoan language and culture. It was a huge challenge sitting there listening to the lecture while the lecturer carried on talking to us in Samoan. On the first morning the lecturers introduced themselves and told us that the lecture will be delivered in Samoan, immediately I said to myself “ why did I ever take this paper”. At the same time, I thought about the students in my classroom which gave me the courage to take it. It was challenging but the best thing about Samoan language that I have learnt is that the words are spelled just like how they are pronounced. Not only that but there are some words in the Samoan language which are the same as the Tongan language though the meanings are totally different.
