Moderna Tok Pisina is studying in a country with four seasons. Can she write about it in a letter to her momma in the village?
"Nau mi stap long winta (winter) na sama (summer) bai mi kam long PNG," she writes. Her momma then asks her educated nephew to explain the meaning of summer and winter.
Tip: When transliterating a new borrowed word, keep the English spelling in brackets.
