It is strongly recommended that you try a few words of both French and Tahitian “just to break the ice”, this is more a case of respect than anything else, but is very worthwhile.

The small collection of words and phrases in Tahitian and French is one that we’ve provided “just for fun” - don’t be afraid to try them, you’ll be thrilled at the results. A good pointer for the pronunciation of Tahitian is that it is similar to Maori, in that all vowels are pronounced.
