I have just created a wikipage on the same topic and I am hoping to have on it links to relevant sites that will help me practice my Te Reo Maori - if you have any links or references to information that might help me - please let me know.

Introductory Te Reo Maori

I am in the process of taking an introductory Te Reo Maori paper at the University of Waikato at the Tauranga Campus at Windermere.

The paper is called MAOR 111 09A - it is over the first semester in 2009.

This is the first time I have formally studied in 30 years!

I wanted to learn Te Reo Maori to help me in my work (cataloguing at the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic Library) - understanding Maori subject headings and Maori language in the New Zealand and Maori items that I catalogue.

I also believe in retaining Te Reo Maori as part of the cultural heritage of New Zealand - if the language is not used it will become extinct.
