5.0 out of 5 stars Tongan Tapes, July 5, 2001
By "emlundell" (Logan, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
I found purchasing Eric B. Shumway's "Intensive Course in Tongan" tapes, very helpful as a student wanting to learn the Tongan language. Although buying the book with the tapes is a necessity. I found the readings on the tapes to be very clear and easy to follow along with. The reader gives you plenty of time to repeat after them, which is very effective in learning. Also the songs and readings are very entertaining. This is a good buy for a serious Tongan language learning student. Also these are the only Tongan language tapes I could find out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent introduction to Tongan, October 12, 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent introduction to Tongan when used with the tapes. It introduces grammatical points and vocabulary in a well ordered format. It's a great book to use when learning "fakaTonga", the beatiful Tongan language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best way to learn Tongan, March 12, 2007
By A. Pope (Hawaii) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Book and CD is the best way to Learn Tongan. It is straight forward and easy to study on your own. The CD allows the student to learn how to pronounce words and also be able to understand Tongan spoken at full speed. I would recommend then CD for anyone wishing to Learn Tongan!
