Cook Island words for supermarket items
As we continue to build our Cook Island language video series, we give you ‘Cook Island words for supermarket items’.
Use the Cook Island words for common supermarket items such as ‘vararoa’ which means ‘bread’ or ‘moa’ which means ‘chicken’ and many more.
A great way to learn a language is to become familiar with words you see and use nearly every day. The next time you walk around the supermarket, try and remember as many words as you can.
