The name of this book makes it sound like a phrasebook for tourists, or something similarly superficial, but in fact this is a very good resource for learning Samoan. Certainly leaps and bounds better than "Gagana Sāmoa: A Samoan Language Coursebook" by Hunkin, which despite being published by the University of Hawaii and having slick packaging, is far too superficial and its methodology too scatterbrained to be of any use to a serious student. Highly recommend "Say It In Samoan" and would suggest you skip "Gagana Sāmoa". ( )
