Bookseller recommendation
“An essential guide to learning Te Reo Maori which partners well with the best selling hard copy.”
— Megan • Books For Kids
Let te reo Maori advocate and expert Scotty Morrison teach you the basics of the Maori language in easy 30-minute lessons - anywhere, anytime.
Scotty's bestselling Maori Made Easy books and workbooks in print have already helped over 100,000 people on their journey to learn te reo Maori.
Now, the same great resource is available in audio, voiced by the author himself.
By committing just 30 minutes at a time, at your own pace, hands-free, wherever you like, you can adopt the language easily and in a way that suits your busy life.
In this audiobook, you will learn directly from Scotty:
About the Maori language
Pronunciation
Numbers
Greetings and farewells
Action phrases
Vocabulary
Personal pronouns (I, you, him, her)
Possessive prepositions
Whanau and introductions
Tense markers
Locatives
...and much more
While dictionaries list words and their definitions, and other language guides offer common phrases, Maori Made Easy connects the dots, allowing the reader to take control of their learning in an empowering
way that is fun, effective - and easy.
Listening to Scotty, repeating after him, and practising words and phrases mimics real-life language use and deploys techniques proven to accelerate confidence and knowledge.
This is the ultimate, one-stop resource for anyone wanting to learn the basics of the Maori language.
Ka rawe!
