Speak Māori Tamariki
Speak Māori Tamariki is an introductory course for te reo Māori, the Māori language designed for tamariki (children), their parents, grandparents and teachers.
It features animated characters of real life siblings Te Aorere Pēwhairangi and Te Ataakura Sharland-Pēwhairangi as our tutors. They are proudly from the Ngāti Porou iwi or tribe and are fluent speakers from birth, so you might hear some Ngāti Porou dialect in their teaching - which is all good.
We have been kindly supported by NZ on Air in the development of this Speak Māori Tamariki course.
