Introduction to Te Reo Māori and Tikanga
Course details
About the course
This is our most popular Te Reo course. Over 10 weeks (which can be arranged to fit around your team’s work schedule) you’ll gain an understanding of basic Te Reo and Māori culture and learn how to use your new skills in the workplace and other settings. Your team will start with basic pronunciation and words, build a structured mihimihi or pepeha, and gain an introductory understanding of cultural and traditional Māori values. Course content can be altered to fit the language used in your workplace or group setting and can be delivered at your workplace or at our campus.
