Te Reo Māori 101
As part of the decolonizing and re-indigenising the mind, one must return to the teachings of old as a way to decode our cultural narratives to gain insight into Te Ao Māori, the ancient Māori world. 2-hour online wānanga to unpack our cultural narratives and stories as part of our journey to Te Ao Mārama - the world of enlightenment.
This workshop breaks down common roadblocks like figuring out when to use “i” versus “ki,” or how to confidently use tense markers like "kei te," "e...ana," "ka," "i," and "kua." Through clear examples and interactive exercises, we’ll make these concepts easy to understand.
