This week, to celebrate Tongan language week, my group created a DLO that reflects on the traditions and culture of Tonga and it’s people. We found out about traditional celebrations, food, clothes, holidays and vocabulary that you can use to communicate with Tongan people during Tongan language week. We also looked at the island of Tonga and went deeper by finding out how they celebrate holidays, what resources are found on their island and what their houses are usually made of. We found this information interesting because we suspected that Tonga was an island purely of trees, bushes and nature that the Tongan people cherish.
I enjoyed finding out about the Tongan culture because I can apply my knowledge of their culture to be respectful and more open to people during Tongan language week.
