What does the app do?
The Speak Pacific app is designed to give users a brief introduction to 7 Pacific languages and cultures.
- Fӓeag Rotuḁm (Rotuman language)
- Gagana Samoa (Samoan language)
- Gagana Tokelau (Tokelauan language)
- Lea Faka-Tonga (Tongan language)
- Te Reo Māori Kūki ‘Airani (Cook Island Māori Language)
- Vosa vaka-Viti (Fijian Language)
- Vagahau Niue (Niue Language)
Each language has an introduction video to the language and cultural context, including The Lord’s Prayer, greetings, pronunciation, activities to share new words and phrases and a customisable introduction to practise and share.
It features:
- synchronised narration in Pacific languages and English
- swipe to read or touch to hear
- drag and drop puzzles
- the ability to create your own introductions in the selected languages
- the ability to export pages, images and audio to colleagues, friends or social media.
It's hoped that after the brief introduction, users will go on to register for a full language course. For the complete app description, go to Google Play(external link) or the App Store(external link).
