Nau Mai Haere Mai Welcome
Learn to speak Maori quickly and easily the Te Ataarangi way with Te Reo Maioha.
People from all different backgrounds and cultures are drawn towards this friendly style of learning the Maori language.
We provide a safe and a supportive learning environment.
The course not only teaches you the language (te reo) but also song (waiata), prayer (karakia) and the process of establishing relationships, relating well to others (whakawhanaungatanga) as you start your journey into the Maori world.

This will be a live-in, total immersion rumaki, where students will be encouraged to speak Te Reo Maori only. Please do not be discouraged by the fact that English will not be spoken – remember we are ALL learning, and being totally immersed in the language is to assist our learning. The Kaiako/Kaiawhina all understand how it feels to be learning as an adult and will encourage/support you throughout. Kaiako will be travelling from Aotearoa to conduct classes over the weekend.
