'''<cite>12 Days of sona pi toki pona</cite>''' is a series of {{w|YouTube}} videos made to teach the basics of [[Toki Pona]], created by {{tok|[[jan Misali]]}} in 2015. The series consists of 12 episodes, each introducing one or more grammar concepts (except for days 1 and 12), as well as 10 words from the {{tp|[[pu]]}} vocabulary (day 12 also introduces the "[[synonym]]s"). |
