Kōrero Class 2 (6 weeks)

Would you like to improve your ability to have a basic conversation in te reo Māori?

Do you lack confidence to speak Māori in social situations?

Do you know how to read and write in te reo but struggle with speaking aloud?

Then this course is for you! ​Our Kōrero Class 2 is focused on creating confident te reo Māori speakers. It is recommended for anyone who has a strong knowledge of te reo Māori foundations and would like to improve on their current level of kōrero ā-waha (speaking out loud) and whakawhiti kōrero (conversing) in te reo.

N.B Our January Kōrero Class is the continuation of our Nov/Dec 2023 Kōrero Class however, taking the first class is not a prerequiste for this course.

This course includes: ​

- 6 te reo Māori lessons taught via Zoom. Each class is 2 hours in duration

- 6 Zoom recordings

- 6 detailed lesson plans delivered via email before each lesson

- 100% oral homework assignments each week

- Weekly kōrero groups for practicing speaking in te reo
