Thank you so much for this video, I was born and raised in Australia. my background is Fijian and I never got the chance to learn anything about the Fijian language or culture. It's really hard to understand what people are saying to me at home so this video helps a lot thank you
I’m in the same boat I was raised in the uk and I need to learn the language to see family in Australia where they moved so if you want to practice I wouldn’t mind
I'm the same lol. Born in Australia my mum is fijian from totoya. Unfortunately never got to learn the language growing up. Been trying to find actual classes here but nothing. So videos like this are helpful
It’s because Fijians usually speak English unless they’re telling a story or talking fast, so they really don’t speak in Fijian enough for us to pick it up when we’re young. It really sucks that we have to learn through videos but they are very helpful
I know NZ citizens and residents can take these courses for free, not sure about Australian citizens, but worth checking out…The Centre for Pacific Languages offer free Fijian Language Classes. I’m participating in one right now.
Just curious, is Fijian language still widely spoken in Fiji? I'm only asking because for the case of Hawaiian language in Hawaii it is not widely spoken anymore which is kinda sad.
It's been widely spoken for a very long time and it's thriving even today, especially when one is taught growing up along with their native dialect and English. The British pretty much wanted to leave us alone and preserve our language and culture anyways unlike the Americans on how they treated Hawaii.
Am a Ugandan in East Africa. For us in Runyankore language we say Oreiregye to mean good morning. Yabare to mean thank you. I have learnt Kerekere meaning am hungry
@@Ravlow23 not really,been there 38 yrs it was the first swearing I was told ,they laughed their guts out , all fun and games but thanks for your concern 👍
