Describing where your and your ancestors are from is such an important part of meeting people in te ao Māori. Forming connections with people starts with the question Nō hea koe? to find out more about the heritage of others. Growing your te reo Māori starts with getting to know one person at a time. Our WHERE YOU’RE FROM mini course takes you through a range of ways to express where you and your ancestors are from as you build up your skills with our low and slow learning style. Learn, use and share your te reo Māori with whānau and friends by practising your ancestral heritage introduction lines as you grow. You can use these questions and statements when getting to know anyone in your everyday life whether at home, work, school or out in the community.

It takes time to learn so work through our MINI COURSES at your own pace and place, without assignments or pressure! Unpacking our whakamā (anxiety) around learning te reo Māori is a big deal for many of us, so take your time in your safe space to learn. Growing te reo Māori together is fun, relaxing and empowering!
