Te Pūtaketanga o te Reo

Want to speak te reo Māori? There's no better way than to immerse yourself in the language. Learn in a calm, encouraging, stress-free environment that also challenges you to speak and think in the reo.

Our experienced and fluent kaiako understand what it takes to help you go from little or no Māori language to a basic conversational ability. You'll learn with others at the same beginner's level, and you'll get more confident by the day. Kia kaha!

• basic grammar
• correct pronunciation
• conversational te reo Māori

• use a variety of sentence structures
• use te reo Māori in a range of formal and informal situations

Take this to the next level with Te Aupikitanga ki te Reo Kairangi Level 6 or Te Ara Reo Māori Level 5.​
