He Kupu Whakataki

E te manumea, kua mahue i a koe te hanga o te hauturuki, kua rewa ake koe i tōu kōpae. Kauaka ō kōrero e kōmuhua mai, rangi mārōtia kia rongo te nuinga, kia rongo te marea. Kauaka te kōrero e kainga tūtia, engari tukua ki raro kia tau ki te aroaro o te hunga e matemate ana ki ōu whakaaro. Ākuanei koe kawea ai tērā ki ngā whenua hou, kia kitea te ora i roto i a koe. Whakaangi ki roto ki ngā huatau o te ināianei kia kawea ngā wai o ngā kupu o nehe, o nā koa tonu nei, hei korokī mā tēnā mā tēnā e whakangākau ana kia mate kore te reo e kīia nei ko te reo rangatira, te reo Māori. Nā reira e koe i manakohia ai e te wā, i roa ai tōu kikiringa, takawhaki atu rā ki tōu ao e tatari mai rā. Toutoua anō ngā ahi o te reo Māori kia pūkākā. E hōkai, e topa, e tau ki ngā marae o maunga nui, o maunga roa, o maunga ake ake. Ōwhiti, tūturu, whakamaua kia tina, Hui e ! Tāiki e !

Engari, ko te whakautu o ōna tuākana ki a ia anō, "Kāo, he rangatahi noa iho koe. Kāore he wāhi māu kei te waka nei, nā reira me noho tau ki tātahi kē.

Create your own pepeha, record it, and share to social media. Pronunciation guide with 'swipe to read' features. For Apple, head on over to #1miriona on the App Store (apple.com)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nau mai, tahuti ma! Welcome to our #1Miriona, a tool to help you prepare your pepeha. It's aimed at helping learners of te reo Māori to get started and build confidence to speak Māori.

We've created #1miriona as a social media campaign to engage a million supporters of the Māori language with te reo Māori content that people like, create and share online.

A pepeha is a statement of identity. It's a tribal saying and how Māori introduce themselves on the marae or in a Māori setting, yet it's a formula that can be used by all people. Some say pepeha can be seen as an ancient Global Positioning System (GPS) devised by our ancestors, linking us to significant landmarks that connect us to our tribal roots.

This App will help you to construct your pepeha, assist you with pronunciation, and allow you to record and publish when you're confident to share. Mauri Ora! Nā Te Māngai Pāho.

"E ora ai te reo - whiua ki te ao." "For the language to survive - share it with the world."

FEATURES

* Swipe-to-Read™

* All words in te reo Māori are Touch-to-Hear™

* Read-to-me and read-it-myself options

Customise the book:

* record your narration

* create your own pepeha

* export screen shot, audio, or screen recording video of your pepeha to social media.

Scenario

We meet creatures from all around the world, but our final creature is not of this earth; he is from outer space.

Language Focus

You will learn how to ask about where someone comes from, for example, 'Nō hea ia?' (Where is s/he from?)

You will also learn how to respond when asked that question, for example, 'Nō Hāmoa ia' (S/he's from Samoa).

Tikanga

In Māori culture, it is more appropriate to ask someone where they're from than it is to ask about their job, for example. People's connectedness to a place is very important.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Te ao Māori is an exciting and enduring culture that has shaped Aotearoa's society and is an integral part of our contemporary lifestyle.

We offer free te reo Māori night classes at four different levels, and at whatever level you choose, you'll get to explore our beautiful Te Noho Kotahitanga marae and wharekai. They are hubs for teaching and learning, places for ceremonial and celebratory gatherings, and a source of local and historical knowledge.

You'll also be taught by some of the best lecturers in an authentic tikanga Māori environment (a learning atmosphere guided by Māori protocols).

Watch this short video to see what our past students say and experience in kura pō (night classes).

Kōrero mai - give it a go!

We offer free te reo Māori night classes (kura pō) at four levels, starting with tahi (one) for beginners, rua (two) intermediate, toru (three) for advanced, and wha (four) for our full immersion class.

Tahi - Beginner

Choose this level if you haven't had much / any exposure to te reo Māori.

This course provides an introduction to basic personal introduction, mihimihi, karakia, waiata, to the basic language structures and vocabulary at a communicative level. It reinforces vowel, consonants, diphthongs, blends, correct pronunciation of te reo Māori words, and more.

Rua - Intermediate

Choose this level if you already know many basics of te reo Māori i.e. numbers and colours.

This course offers an extension to Reo Tahi or for learners with a basic understanding of language knowledge with punctuation, syntax, past, present, future tense, pepeha, whakapapa, and more.

Toru - Advanced

Choose this level if you already know how to structure complex sentences in te reo Māori.

This course is a further extension again of language acquisition and cultural awareness. This includes being supported to converse comfortably, focusing on sentences and oral conversations in class, and more.

Wha - Full immersion

Choose this level if you're comfortable speaking sentences in te reo Māori.

At this advanced level, you will contribute to classroom discussions, sing appropriate mōteatea and recite karakia for different settings (the course runs subject to numbers).

Maramataka calendars highlight the connection between the moon and our wellbeing. For the current rātaka (moon phase) check out our online Maramataka below, or download and order your free calendar today.

Our Maramataka tools were adapted from the mātauranga Māori in Living by the Moon Te Maramataka A Te Whānau-ā-Apanui by Wiremu Tawhai, (2013), Huia Publishers.

How to align your Maramataka

Did you know that Te Rakanui (the full moon) occurs every 29.53 days? This unusual number means we need to occasionally adjust our Maramataka to 'keep up' with the phases of the moon. If you have a printed Maramataka, we recommend checking it here once a month.

Step 1: Find the date

Our Maramataka resource has two parts: A large A3 poster and a small sticker wheel numbered 1 to 30/31. To get started, simply find today's date (the day) on your small sticker wheel. E.g. If it's the 4th of August, find the 4.

Step 2: Find the phase

Use our online Maramataka below to discover today's moon phase - then find this phase on the large wheel of your A3 Maramataka poster. Ka pai!

Step 3: Match the two!

Peel off your small sticker and carefully position it on your large wheel so that today's date and phase line-up. In cool news this sticker can be removed and reapplied as needed, allowing you to keep your Maramataka totally in sync.
