Tēnā, kia kotahi tonu mai ki tētahi pō i te kairangi ngangahau o te reo Māori. Tekau mā rua ngā kōkō tātākī nō ngā hau e whā o Aotearoa ka whakaatu i te pukuhohe, i te atamai me te wahapū hoki! Kia hiamo koutou ki te mātaki i tētahi whakaaturanga i te hirikapo kakama, i ngā kōrero tene mō tētahi kaupapa i whakaritea, me te pūmanawa o ā tātou kākā tarahae.

Ahakoa he tangata matatau koe ki te kōrero, e ako tonu ana rānei koe i te reo, he arawātea a Waha Kōrero hei rumaki i a koe anō i te reo Māori. Koia nei te tino kaupapa māu!

He iti te wātea o ngā nohonga, waihoki, he kore utu te urunga kia āhei ai i tēnā, i tēnā te whai wāhi mai, kia pārekareka ai hoki tēnei taiopenga ki te katoa. Ka wātea he paramanawa hei hoko i te rā.

Dive into a night of vibrant reo Māori excellence as twelve esteemed speakers from across Aotearoa showcase humour, intellect and eloquence! You can expect a display of fast thinking, impromptu speeches on a set topic, with the added spin of our highly proficient speakers.

Whether you are a proficient speaker, or on your learning journey, Waha Kōrero is a chance to immerse yourself in te reo Māori. This is the place to be!
