5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to learn Samoan, May 21 2003

This book by Galumalemana Afeleti L. Hunkin (a University professor for Samoan Language in Wellington, New Zealand) is perfect if you want to learn the Samoan Language. With lots of exercises and good explanations it makes learning the language easy and enjoyable.
I recommend to order the audio cassette with it. It is useful to hear native speakers who know how to pronounce their words...

4.0 out of 5 stars Audio samples & Flashcards available, July 18 2010

The audio samples are available for free on the University of Hawaii Press website.
Just search for gagana on their site and it will show you legitimate and free links to mp3 and realaudio recordings.

If you are going to learn this stuff you have to do the exercises. Recommend doing them on paper, not by typing them into a computer. You will learn faster that way.

As additional aids to study:

Flashcardexchange has online flashcards for this book. You can either review them on the web, or there is an iPhone app called Mental Case that will let you download the flashcards. Flashcardexchange also appears to have flashcards for the Samoan Word book that is also available on Amazon. Even though Mental Case can support audio samples in flash cards unfortunately none of the Flashcardexchange cards have them.

Also search on google for two documents:

- Gagana Samoa Mo Pisikoa. Peace Corps Samoan Language Handbook
- Samoa Language Program Guide John Mayer

To gain more experience learning from native speakers I recommend tuning into local radio stations that stream over the Internet.
In particular:

KSBS-FM Island 92
Radio Samoa 1593AM
V103 - Pago Pago - American Samoa Radio

Lastly, you have to get yourself a proper dictionary. The best one is by G. B. Milner- which is out of print in the US and therefore rather expensive from the Amazon merchants. But you can easily order one from New Zealand from Wheeler Books. Just google for the company.

There is an iPhone app but it is very limited and rather buggy.
