Kia ora! Naumai Tautimai!

Kia ora! Naumai tautimai e hoa! Welcome to this part of the internet. You may be wondering what kinda space this is? Well it's a space to normalise the speaking of te reo Maori. As someone that lives quite far away from the homeland, it is quite rare to come across any Maori language speakers. That's how this place came to be.

Anyways, this is just a quick introduction. If you haven't checked out my total immersion Maori language podcast, -- Please feel free to have a listen here:
A Maori Podcast

I have a few ideas for this space.

Have regular grammar breakdowns of certain phrases.
Produce some practice quizzes to benchmark progress.
Have weekly study sessions together (probably via Discord as that seems quite accessible. Though I am open to other places too.)
Setup coffee and korero meetups online and in-person where possible.
Have a monthly Q&A session.

Hoi ano, ka nui, ka waiho i konei, that's all for now.
Kia ora!
