Cook Island words for items at the supermarket
As we continue to build our Cook Island language video series, we give you ‘Cook Island words for items at the supermarket’.
Items like ‘Varaoa’ 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 use nearly every day. The next time you walk around the supermarket, try and remember as many words as you can.
