Te Reo Maori ebook: An Introduction for Travellers and Newcomers
Learning the Maori language (Te Reo Maori) is certainly not a must for a trip to New Zealand. But it can open your eyes to its very interesting cultural background, its traditional values and ways of thinking. It's absolutely not mandatory to turn into a fluent speaker, already a few greetings can open doors and melt the ice. If you happen to receive an invitation to visit a marae then prepare your own little speech with this guide.
This ebook tries to avoid endless details, if it gets too complicated just click to the next section. Includes lots of vocabulary lists and sentences, questions and answers, often-occurring songs, words of wisdom, and prayers.
Enjoy your trip to New Zealand!
