Niuean Words for Family
In our latest Niuean Language Video, we give you ‘Niuean words for family’.
In this video you can learn words like ‘hoana’ which means ‘wife’, or ‘tau mamatua’ which means ‘parents’, and many more.
A great way to learn a language is to take common words you use in every day conversations and replace them with the language you are learning. This means it builds repetition and familiarity so the words are used without thinking.
