Took this from his personal Instagram. Glottal stops are a complicated thing in Gagana Sāmoa, didn’t want to use the koma liliu if his particular family does not.

For those of you now pretty confident with your vowel pronunciation but a little unsure when it comes to the pronunciation of a few vowels together (blends), here is a helpful video to assist you. youtube.com/watch?v=4XP08d3W…

Anyone spot anything different? And what does that mean for pronunciation?

Nau mai ngā hua, Nau mai ngā pai, Nau mai kia nui kia hāwere ai. Welcome all things that have grown, welcome all things that are good, may they be plentiful & abundant. Mānawatia a Matariki.

Today is the 1st public holiday in NZ acknowledging Matariki. Matariki is celebrated across the Pacific in various ways. Matariki marks the changing of seasons & the new year in the Māori lunar calendar. This graphic demonstrates the close relationship between the languages.

Hey ⁦@PenrithPanthers⁩ fans (and fans of pronunciation). We’re going with the Sāmoan pronunciation of Izack’s surname Tāgo from here. Doesn’t need a press release, or media moment. Just needs to be said 😊

“Then it was hard for me to correct it, when it’s been said wrong so many times” @RaidersCanberra Joseph Tapine sheds light on why some players won’t speak up. Great article from @MelanieDinjaski from @canberratimes #NRL

Tell us you’ve just completed your @IngoaProject short course without telling us you’ve just completed your @IngoaProject 😂 #NRL

Locked in a new client today, after he heard about our offering via recent media reports. He is keen to demonstrate his respect for the athletes he calls! Looking forward to working with him to achieve his goals.

If only there was a fabulous course that provided that kind of support!

The @storm’s Felise Kaufusi has a Tongan name and the e on the end of Felise needs to be pronounced correctly as a third syllable.

Hey @WestsTigers fans here is one for you. Click on this video and go to 1.25. You will hear the correct pronouciation of Nofoa as in the start of Nofoaluma. So often David gets ripped off a vowel or two in the middle of his family name! #nrlbroncostigers youtube.com/watch?v=67zNcL3u…

Plenty of opportunity to practice rolling our r’s today! In @Cronulla_Sharks names Nikora and Hiroti & @NZWarriors player Nikorima. You can see why its an essential skill for @nrl media to acquire #NRLSharksWarriors
