FREE Maori Language & Culture course for beginners & intermediate. Te Ataarangi method of learning. 

 Te Ataarangi was developed in the late 1970's by Dr Kāterina Te Heikōkō Mataira & Ngoingoi Pewhairangi. It was designed as a community-based programme for adult Māori language learning. Te Ataarangi is modeled on The Silent Way method developed by Caleb Gattegno, which utilises cuisenaire rods (rākau) & spoken language.  This is in direct contrast to traditional grammar-based, academic approaches.  His methodology was further developed to incorporate Māori values & customs, & Te Ataarangi was born.
