Description
This course will focus on the structural components of common basic sentence structures and grammatical concepts in Te Reo Māori - for those who love learning systems and want to increase their understanding of the foundations of Māori language, this course is for you!
Bring paper and pens and an enthusiasm to learn! Ko taku reo taku ohooho, ko taku reo taku mapihi mauria
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
Compare and contrast the structures of English and Māori as languages.
Understand and apply simple grammatical concepts (e.g. personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, A/O categories and the use of determiners).
Identify and discuss common basic errors about Māori language that have arisen from English structures and thought.
Practice and use the structures for a range of Māori sentences (e.g. ko, he, ehara, N/M possession, counting sentences, locatives, and actives).
