Learn Samoan – School Items Vocabulary (Samoan Language)
For many Pacific children, starting school can be a challenging experience — especially when English is a second language.
In this video, we introduce 17 common items children will see at school and translate them from English to Samoan. These everyday words help build confidence, familiarity, and language connection both at home and in the classroom.
You’ll learn words like:
Aoga = School
Peni = Pen
Faiaoga = Teacher
…and many more essential Samoan school terms.
