Kia ora koutou and welcome.

A little about myself, Ko TeAhoraurangi Melba Pakinga tōku ingoa nō Hauraki, nō Ngā Puhi ki te Hokianga ahau. My experiences in Education stems over a number of years from being a Kaiako in Secondary Schools to Kai Whakaako (Senior Lecturer) at a Tertiary level of Te Reo Māori. I specialize in online delivery of Te Reo Māori programs however i also am able to provide kānohi ki te kānohi delivery. For this workshop we will deliver online, no reira nau mai haere mai.

Welcome to our workshop, If you have always wanted to learn how to introduce your self in Te Reo Māori and respond appropriately to simple basic questions (Pātai) this workshop is for you. In this two hour workshop you will learn how to introduce yourself using appropriate greetings and adding your own personal relevant information. You will also practice drills to enhance your pronunciation of the new kupu or words (oral drills). As an outcome of this workshop you will begin to recognize words and patterns including basic grammatical sentence structures that are essential for developing confidence in speaking Te Reo Māori. The strategies used in this workshop will enable you to continue to practice in your own time. This workshop is suitable for beginners or as a refresher for those who have some Reo. Kia ora TeAhoraurangi.
