I cannot express my gratitude and excitement enough to finally be able to learn our Ngāpuhi reo. The course is beautifully put together — and you keep tweaking it and adding new content.
I live in the South Island, so it’s hard finding anyone to speak with, but I’m actually starting to construct conversational phrases regardless. What really excites me is how you give clarity through simple foundational concepts like nei, nā and rā — not to mention beautiful insights like e mara.
It’s just full of gems. A wonderful piece of mahi.
