Talofa!
Our journey through the Pacific Language Weeks continues, and this week we are celebrating Muna Tuku ote vaiasote ‘gama Tuvalu – Tuvaluan Language Week.
The theme of this week is Fano ki mua kae sa puli tou iloga’ – Progress to thrive not forgetting your roots. So if you’d like to test your knowledge of the nation of Tuvalu or learn something new, why not try out our quiz? Enjoy seeing what you know and maybe you might learn something new.
