Publisher's Summary

Let te reo Maori advocate and expert Scotty Morrison teach you the basics of the Maori language in easy 30-minute lessons - anywhere, anytime. 

Scotty's best-selling Maori Made Easy books and workbooks in print have already helped over 100,000 people on their journey to learn te reo Maori. 

Now, the same great resource is available in audio, voiced by the author himself.

By committing just 30 minutes at a time, at your own pace, hands-free, wherever you like, you can adopt the language easily and in a way that suits your busy life.

In this audiobook, you will learn directly from Scotty:

  • About the Maori language
  • Pronunciation
  • Numbers
  • Greetings and farewells
  • Action phrases
  • Vocabulary
  • Personal pronouns (I, you, him, her)
  • Possessive prepositions
  • Whanau and introductions
  • Tense markers
  • Locatives
  • ...and much more

While dictionaries list words and their definitions, and other language guides offer common phrases, Maori Made Easy connects the dots, allowing the listener to take control of their learning in an empowering way that is fun, effective - and easy.

Listening to Scotty, repeating after him, and practising words and phrases mimics real-life language use and deploys techniques proven to accelerate confidence and knowledge.

This is the ultimate, one-stop resource for anyone wanting to learn the basics of the Maori language.

Ka rawe!

Production of this audiobook was made possible by the generous support of Manatu Taonga and in partnership with Maori Television.

Highly recommend!!!

After many years of trying to learn Māori, I discovered this audio book a few months ago and absolutely love it. This is the first time that it’s all making sense. I am usually a visual learner, so was worried about how well I would learn just by having the audio. I am not disappointed.

I am lucky as I visited my parents who had the book and gave it to me which provided a bit of extra practice, but its not needed.

If you want to learn Māori, this book would be a great start.

Tumeke Matua Scotty!

Matua Scotty has mastered the art of making one feel confident to embrace te reo. I really enjoyed his approach to breaking it down, yet kept you moving forward.

Solid

Awesome. This book has been amazing. I have had the physical copy too but that isn't necessary. It has well spaced exercises so you get to try and answer the questions. If a topic is difficult you can just go back and listen again until confident. You could learn your te reo Māori in the car on the way to work.
