Conversational Tahitian: An Introduction to the Tahitian Language of French Polynesia is a groundbreaking resource designed to teach the everyday language of Tahiti and its surrounding islands. Tailored for English speakers, this book bridges a significant gap in accessible Tahitian language materials. With an emphasis on practical communication, it offers a series of graded lessons, exercises, and relevant conversational passages, allowing readers to quickly grasp the unique structure and usage of Tahitian. The text also includes a comprehensive glossary, translation keys, and clear explanations of linguistic features, making it an invaluable tool for anyone planning to visit Tahiti or learn more about its culture.
Unlike previous grammars, often steeped in theological or archaic forms, this book focuses on contemporary, conversational Tahitian. It avoids technical jargon and embraces a user-friendly approach, ensuring that learners of all backgrounds can engage with the language. Developed with the support of experts and institutions, including the Australian National University, this guide reflects a deep commitment to authenticity and accuracy. Whether for travelers, linguists, or cultural enthusiasts, Conversational Tahitian serves as an essential gateway to the language and daily life of French Polynesia.
