You may know me as @amuuso from the Instagram "Upu O Le Aso" (Word of the Day). I'm a Mobile App Developer and Project Director for the Matou Samoan Language Project. I have developed a series of short, concise lessons to help people learn the Samoan language.
I grew up in the Samoan culture but did not learn the language for many years. I believe that acquiring Samoan as a second language has helped me to better create lessons that people of today can relate to, thereby making it easier to learn.
I found that the most important element of learning Samoan is Sentence Structure. Learning Samoan makes more sense if you know how to form the main phrases. If you are just beginning your Samoan language studies, this is a great place to start!
Clear and Concise
The Matou courses try to avoid long, boring academic explanations as much as possible. Messages are designed to be clear, concise, and as short, yet effective as possible.
If you have been following the lessons on Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook but have trouble keeping up because of the random order of the lessons, this course will benefit you because all of the lessons are in sequence. One concept builds on another so you'll know one foundation before advancing to the next.
Matou Mobile App
Everyone that enrolls in the course will receive an ad-free version of the Matou Mobile App. There are many more lessons, quizzes, and videos on the app. You will also have access to tutors via live chat as a Matou student.
