User reviews

AMAZING!

can finally learn more about the pacific island languages, especially my own culture, meitaki ma’ata.

Disappointed

An awesome idea, but I feel as if with the Tokelauan words. A native Tokelauan speaker should have been used as the pronunciation is quite appalling. There are also alphabetic differences in the language which have not been acknowledged thus excluding a large population of Tokelau.
Also there is a phrase “Tokelau Hatele”
Hatele is not a word, the word is either spelled Whatele or Fatele depending on which atoll you hail from. Unprofessional and offensive that you have not taken the time to research this extensively.
