Librelingo course to teach Te Reo Māori from English
Te Reo Māori is a beautiful language, and it is also one of the 3 official languages of Aotearoa New Zealand: English, NZ Sign Language, and Te Reo. This course is designed to help people learn common words and phrases in a logical order, following the New Zealand Curriculum, and to help people start speaking Te Reo from Day 1.
Some notes, included at the start of the course:
- Te Reo Māori uses macrons. These are vowels with a little line above them, making the vowel sound longer, but you generally can't find them on a keyboard. When learning on LibreLingo, there will be buttons under text input fields to allow you to type them. If instead you want to add them to your computers' keyboard, look at the instructions here.
- The ones used in Te Reo Māori are ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, Ā, Ē, Ī, Ō and Ū.
- The best online Maori dictionary is Te Aka Māori Dictionary. Make sure to make the most out of it!
- This course is designed to introduce new words, phrases and concepts in a logical order. It takes into account things you will be able to use in daily life, and also the most frequent words used in Māori.
- At the beginning it will be quite vocabulary-focused, and new sentence structures are introduced slowly.
- Several resources have been used to decide what should be taught when:
- 1000 most frequent words
- Curriculum-based school lesson plans (for sentences that should be taught early on)
- 365 and 100 word lists from Māori language week
- The Kōreroreo app developed by the Auckland University of Technology (AUT). I recommend learners us it as well.
- Everyday Māori podcast by Hēmi Kelly. On Spotify and acast if you use an rss-based podcast app.
- Tōku Reo by Te Whāneke
- Kupu o te rā has a dictionary as well as many lessons on grammar and sentence structure.
Progress
I have a basic plan for what to include in this course. Here is a checklist so you can see what I'm up to! Once I have finished planning the first 3 or 4 modules, I will publish the entire plan, which includes words and sentences as well.
Feel free to make suggestions, I need other people's opinions on what should be taught and in what order. Most of the ones already here are placed to specifically introduce 10-15 vocab and 1 new sentence structure each skill, although some only teach vocab while slotting them into previously taught sentences.

- Basic Greetings - Kia ora!
- Kei te pēhea - How are you?
- Pronouns - koe, kōrua, koutou, ia

- Pronouns 2 - Including the speaker

- Pronouns 3 - Excluding the speaker
- This and That - Tēnei, Tēna, Tērā
- Natural World 2
- Pepeha - Self introductions - not sure what would be included. Best to avoid making atm.
- Module 3: Everyday Life
- Kei te aha koe? - What are you doing?
