Te Reo Māori pronunciation

If you want to confidently pronounce Māori names and places and perhaps use greetings, say karakia or use other words at work without making people cringe, then this session is for you!

Te reo Māori teacher Kate White will get you started on the right track when it comes to pronunciation - giving you tips to correctly pronounce familiar Māori words as well as strategies so you can pronounce unfamiliar words correctly. We'll look at how to say the names of the new Council buildings and other Mid Canterbury Māori names, and you will be introduced to useful apps and websites that can help you improve your pronunciation.

This interactive workshop is great as a refresher & offers a chance to practice what you may know already. The session is also suitable for those who are brand new to learning the Māori language. Grow in confidence to give Māori a go!
