Fai Talaga
Conversations
We recorded a few natural conversations where people were just talking normally to each other. Most of these were recorded over 50 years ago and they preserve a record of how people talked in Nanumea then (1970s, 1980s). Maybe things have changed and the ‘gana faka taatou is a bit different now? Listen and decide for yourself!
