Our intermediate te reo Māori courses extend on the spoken and written language taught in our beginner courses. These courses are taught with a minimum of 50% spoken and written te reo Māori, with a view to working towards full immersion.
Topics covered include Tūwāhi (past, present, and future location), Whakakāhoretanga (different forms of negation including negating passive sentences), Pātai Hāngū – questions using the passive voice, Te Whakataurite (extending on the similarities and differences between people and things), Whakapapa (how to recite genealogy), Mihimihi/ Whakawhanake (expanding on mihi), Kīwaha and Whakataukī/whakatauākī (the use of proverbial sayings and aphorisms) amongst other topics.
