Sobre IBD

Saturday Movies, Hele’uhila Tokonaki is written in Tongan and English. It is B1+ in the CEFR framework and is designed to support the learning of the Tongan language. In the second half of the twentieth century movies came to Tonga in a major way. Local entrepreneurs would arrange for the hire of a suitable building in each village and travel around the districts bringing the movies and all the equipment needed to show them. This book shares what it was like to go to village movies on a Saturday night in those days, the ingenuity of local boys trying to sneak in to watch, and how one of them created his own role as translator, complete with megaphone.
