You can contribute to revitalising the language by learning to speak Māori in one of our community-based classes in a region near you. Using the language in all situations, especially the home and between generations, is required for the survival of reo Māori as a living language.
Community-based classes are informal classes run in various locations throughout the country. The focus is on speaking Māori in a supportive environment. Everyone learns together at the same pace.
You can learn to speak Māori with confidence in a fun and non-threatening manner. Te Ataarangi is best known for its use of Cuisenaire rods (rākau) in an immersion environment. It's an effective method that works.
Whether you have absolutely no experience of Māori language, or want to increase your fluency, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll learn to speak with confidence.
Eight great reasons to learn with Te Ataarangi:
Community-based classes receive limited or no funding, therefore a fee may be charged.
