Description
The aim of the course is to teach the basic structure of simple sentences in Māori so that you can compose, read and understand basic Māori. You will also learn a set of terms which will enable you to talk about and analyse the structure of Māori and many other languages. Another skill you will acquire, or improve upon, is the ability to translate Māori sentences and simple texts into English and English sentences into Māori.
This course is designed for students with little or no knowledge of the language, and for those with some fluency wishing to understand simple sentence structure and composition.
