Ko tōku reo tōku ohooho, ko tōku reo tōku māpihi maurea.
My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul.
What is Whiria te Reo?
Whether you’re just starting out on your reo journey, giving it another go, or simply need a confidence boost, our new programme can help you. Whiria te Reo is a customised learning journey that will support you to go further with your learning of te reo Māori.
With our innovative delivery method, you have the flexibility to choose to walk with us across a year of learning, or focus on topics that will benefit you the most.
Learning te reo Māori
Haere mai, we welcome you on your reo journey. Te reo Māori is a national taonga, a treasure. It’s what makes Aotearoa unique.
The benefits of learning te reo Māori:
- helps to preserve and pass on the cultural heritage of Aotearoa
- nurtures a sense of inclusion in workplaces and learning environments
- can help connect us to our culture and identity
- contextualises place names, greetings and every day reo use
- develops cultural sensitivity, building an awareness of Māori culture
- enhances cognitive abilities through bilingualism
- builds an equity-focused mindset.
At Tātai Aho Rau, we want to encourage you to start or continue your reo Māori journey. We believe it’s a taonga worth cherishing, nurturing, and protecting for future generations. We are currently offering this programme to groups, teams or businesses.
