Manawa Reo 11 September to 13 October. Register here
Each and every one of us can help revitalize and strengthen our language by using it more and by incorporating te reo Māori into everyday conversations. When we strengthen our language, we strengthen our identity that is unique to Aotearoa. Kia kaha te reo Māori. Let’s make the Māori language strong.
Whakarongo (Listen)
Look for our Kupu Kards around campus with greetings and phrases for use in your everyday interactions. Then by going to the Manawa Reo in the MyAra app, you can scan the QR code on each poster to hear the correct pronunciation and have a go at using them with each other.
Kōrero (Speak)
A pepeha is a way of introducing yourself that is special to Aotearoa and for Māori it is common practice to tell the story of our connections to significant people and places. Take up the #HonoChallenge! Use the links provided to create your pepeha and when you’re ready learn it, share it and upload it to social media using the tohu marau hashtag #HonoChallenge. Kei reira! Awesome!
