Hei Tīmata: Te Reo Māori Level 2 Beginners

This enjoyable, interactive 8-week course is for learners who want to extend their knowledge of active sentence structures. In this course, learners are expected to know their pepeha. Learners are also expected to know the very simple structures around discussing where you were born and where you grew up.

Level two is about building confidence in all the language and skills gained in level one.

We focus on the building blocks to construct and negate sentences that express past, present and future action.

In every class, learners carry out a variety of activities that engage different senses and encourage teamwork. We learn new vocabulary and sentence structures using a co-creation process that relies on actions and gestures. How much new content we cover week to week will be matched to the ability of those in class. There will be karakia, games, waiata and conversations about how the topic content ties in with concepts of tikanga and Te Ao Māori.

He aha te kai ā te rangatira, he kōrero, he kōrero, he kōrero.

– This whakataukī speaks to the value of communication. What is the food of our greatest leaders, it is well executed communication. When we communicate well, we give life to the rangatira within.
