*ENROLLING NOW FOR TERM 4- Starts Tuesday 15th of October, 2024!*
This super interactive 8-week course is for beginners who are building up their skills to
transition to an intermediate level. These learners should be able to confidently share their
pepeha in front of a group. It is for learners who can comfortably express and negate past,
present and future actions in Te reo Māori.
Learners should already be familiar with imperatives, intensifiers, a/o categories, passive
sentence structures and the agent emphatic. The overall goal of this course is for learners
to develop a deeper understanding of these aspects and to gain confidence in using them.
In every class, learners carry out a variety of activities that engage different senses and
encourage teamwork. We learn new vocabulary and sentence structures using a co-
creation process that relies on actions and gestures. How much new content we cover
week to week will be matched to the ability of those in class. There will be games, waiata
and conversations about how the topic content ties in with concepts of tikanga and Te Ao
Māori. This class is for students who are committed to building their skills in te reo Māori.
Poipoia te kakano kia puawai – Nurture the seed and it will blossom.
