I learnt more in 10mins than I have attending a 3 month reo class a few years ago and in my high school thanks so much

I want to learn Te Reo because I feel so left out when everyone else is speaking Maori around me and I don't understand. I feel like I SHOULD understand because i'm from New Zealand XD

Hello from the USA I never knew anything about this language or knew it existed till I started listening to the band Alien Weaponry. Now I want to learn the language to help keep it alive. One word I have to get used to using is Oma since I'm used to it meaning Grandma in German since my grandma is from Germany. I'm definitely going to start using your method to help learn the language thank you

My best friend lives in New Zealand and she said she speaks Maori and I always heard of it and now,I want to,learn and surprise her

This is the most useful lesson in learning Maori I have ever come across. Kia ora!

I love your presentations, your clear explanations and the visuals - this makes so much sense. As a Pākeha who grew up alongside Māori I feel so pleased to be learning the beautiful language of the tangata whenua.. Thank you.

I'm Maori I Understand most words they say on the News and I'm Truly Grateful to be able to Understand this.

Kia ora Grant, I have just begun my te reo journey as a Pakeha in Aotearoa and am amazed by how much disinformation New Zealanders have been fed over the last (my) 62 years. Your videos are incredible and this particular spreadsheet makes it so easy to get my head around tense phrasing. Baby steps, but your courses will be next. Keep up the good mahi.

At 62 I thought it would be impossible to learn Te Reo. You, you little beauty, I'm learning and it isn't difficult. Thank you.

I have always wanted to learn Maori yet find it hard to retain the words and get them into the right order for the sentences, you have managed to "make something click" and somehow it now seems to make sense, thank you

Thank you! Watching this video for the first time yesterday felt like the first time I was ever ‘allowed’ to learn my language as a language. Since my mum had Maori heritage but didn’t speak Maori, though I was interested in learning it from a young age, I never met anybody who could teach it like a language. NZ schools teach Maori in rote memorisation and random words. Sometimes it’s a sincere effort put in by well meaning teachers who don’t know the language themselves. Sometimes teachers who know and speak the language still teach it this way because they don’t know better or aren’t given time. In any case this isn’t teaching a language, it is tokenism. As a teenager I learned several foreign languages with ease, but my language felt barred from me because nobody would actually teach it. You can’t learn a language alone no matter how good you are at learning, because language is a social activity. I got to the point where I questioned my right to learn it, or even to call myself Maori. I felt like it was something that didn’t and could never belong to me. Others who were raised with a Maori identity had an experience I could never have. Having learned these phrases in this video and watched a few of your other videos, I now feel a confidence and a connection and love for this language that never seemed possible. I’m hapu and now I have hope that my baby won’t have the same experience. It’s their right to be able to learn their language from birth. That is my motivation.

Now I'm not confused, and now that you put English next to it, I know the difference, cheers

I just started checking out youtube for Te Reo Maori so if i get my visa i can start learning it. I feel it will help my life in NZ later. So far this is the most helpful video.

I love it when people learn in columns....ko ahau !

Man you make it so much easier to learn than the class I was in and I learnt more with you in an hour - Thank you.

How about these words? Moe (sleep) Hamama (shout) tangi (cry) ataata (smile) kai (eat) ?

I've been looking for a way to unblock my brain to learn te reo Māori and retain it, and you have put a smile on my face from ear to ear. You are a blessing. Thank you so much.

Grant, you are always an inspiration to me! This Canadian thanks you from the bottom of his heart for standing for Te Reo in the face of all personal and cultural challenges! Kia Kaha!

Kia Ora Matua. Ngā mihi nui kia koe 😊 Thank you for your tutorials which have been a excellent tool in supporting my journey of Te Reo Māori

Thank you.. Much mahi to be done.. Desperately trying to fit into a busy life learning te reo Maori. Hopefully next time i'm in Aotroa i won't appear ignorant of it's native people's ( not that i am)by at least using and understanding it's indigenous language and culture to the best of current abilities. My experience of Aotroa is nothing short of amazing. The Maori people were so welcoming and gracious to me that i've formed long lasting friendships. Keeping Maori culture and language alive and well must be paramount. How amazing to have such a rich diversity in the world. We should celebrate differences not ridicule them. Kia kaha whanau.

I've really want to learn Maori, but I've always struggled with the concept of language. Even english was a struggle when I was a young, but this is so clear and precise and has made me keep trying, thank you so much. Big love from the UK

Kia Ora man I’m 11 y’o and my class started talking Te reo māori cause we didn’t really get much in the class we are in cause we were so used to talk in English in primary and my classmates and my teachers said “Me korero māori” and that’s my goal, your awesome you explain it so well and great 👍 love your videos it really makes me understand more and more. I really want to hold onto Te reo māori some people don’t care about their languages so I started learning Te reo māori so I can hopefully tell my tēina of how this beautiful and lovely language is it also makes great songs and all I want to say you really made my day and made me really want to hold onto Te reo Māori much more NGA MIHI ❤️❤️

Mean video, you made it really easy. I'd struggled with the order, this helped heaps thank you!

I never listened to a person explaining Te Reo Māori in this way - but I lOVED it 😀 - thanks for sharing

This is a great video! It has been said that if any kiwi can speak and understand at least 100 words and phrases in Maori then that's just brilliant and you are playing a good part in preserving the language and keeping it alive. This video definately comes in handy for those who want to learn more simple words and phrases. You are playing a great role in preserving Te Reo Maori and making it a strong part in our culture and country. Thankyou for making this!

Great video, thank you!

Wow! How encouraging to learn new words knowing how many different sentences I can make out of them! 😄 Great method, thanks a lot for sharing!

This video increases my confidence in learning Te reo Maori.

Thanks for this. I've only just started my Te Reo journey and stumbled upon this channel. 😊

Tena Koe, You're lessons have been really helpful. Mihi koe.

Brother thank you so much. Just watching in my lounge toko. I've been so bored lately. But really enjoyed the video brother. And was engaged the whole video. God bless you for your efforts and contributions to the people. Your the man. And great teacher. All the best in life bro.

To write a macron, google the unicode number for the macron'd letter (ā ) , then in MSWord () type in the numbercode for the macron letter and press alt-x . ā = 0101 (so type 0101 and then alt-x ) ñ = 00f1 , thanks for the lessons . kei te means like perfect tense, but that confuse me, i just say kei te pai, when someone asked ka pai, now i see, i make sense. sanity is priceless. thanks, kia ora

this was very helpful, thank you so much :))

Finally, I can't believe I've learnt so much in such a short time. Thank you.

I noticed that the way tense works in te reo is strikingly similar to the way it works in the conlang Toki Pona. In Toki Pona, much more minimalist than any other language, they had to get creative in how to structure their sentences if tense was required. Therefore, they place tenpo then the word kama (coming), ni (this), or pini (ended/finished) then the word la (context marker) for future, present, & past respectively. Toki Pona: Tenpo ni la, mi tawa Māori: Kei te hare ahau English: I am going

Thanks bro! Seeing it mathematically is empowering with encouragement. Kia ora!

Kia ora. Thank you for a great video. Love tables!!

This is a great way to learn, thank you!

This is awesome. I start Level 1 Te Reo next week and really can't wait!

I'm Australian but love NZ and although I'm new to Maori language I want to learn thanks dude

Super helpful!! Thank you so much!

This is awesome. I am on the journey and this has really helped. Thank you so much.

I love this! I saw the TikTok version but this explains everything so much better. My students and I will be communicating in Te Reo way faster. Thanks

Kia ora! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm a beginner, but hopefully I'll be able to use Te Reo more in the near future. I can't have any conversation with only these words yet. haha. I'll watch more of your videos...I won't give up!

this really helped me make sense of the sentence structure, thanks for the awesome lesson

This was awesome, thank you for making it :)

This is so cool. Thanks so much!

I had two years of Maori lessons in intermediate school in the late 1970s. I learned bunches of nouns, three verbs (noho, tu, oma) and zero grammar. Two years, and they never taught us to make a sentence. Here, 14 minutes, 120 sentences. That makes this lesson (tap tap tap on calculator ...) infinitely more effective. "Learn" would be a great verb to add to your list.

Kia ora, this is a really easy way to start understanding sentence structure.

Thank you sooooo much! This was really helpful! You're a legend. (One day I will be able to write that in te reo Maori!)

Thanks mate, really helpful ! If you have another structured curriculum I’d love to hear about it !

this is great, bless your soul

WOWWW 😲 😃 THATS SO COOL MATUA you just taught me heaps. that's the most Maori I learned in 14 minutes

Very useful. Thank you 😊

That’s crazy I learned so much!

I really enoyed this vid adn intend to watch more. I understood it much more easily than looking at it on a paper hehe

I really want to learn Maori Language! Thank a lot!

Thank you Brother very smart man! I'm not the A+ student in a classroom but I could understand that very easily "Pai to mahi e te Kaiako"

I'm still in high school but I'm an aspiring medicine student. So far, it looks good for me into getting into University. I noticed that there is a Maori language topic included in one of the programmes, (if I remember rightly, Maori is included in _at least_ the Health Sciences). I just so happen to be a European and I don't find Maori particularly easy, so I'm trying my best to learn now or at least some. Thank you. :)

I'm thinking to move to New Zealand in the future, I can speak english already, so I want to learm a bit of maori, and this is really helpful

Thank u so much

OMG thank you hun. Im going to share with my mates at Toi ohomai. You make it so much easier

Thank you that was fun I actually got the sense of it. Now it's applying it. Nga mihi

Really really good lesson

Ngamihi my bro

Yayyyyy thank you

this is cool, just started learning at Kira and was stuck but this is a good revision

wow 😍 interesting. learning the reo atm amazing

thank you bro

Kia ora for this video man, the way you break it down into the syntax (not sure if that's even the right word) is a massive help to me, quite easy for me to memorise the words quite hard to put them into a sentence, the way you put it in a table is ka pai. Nga mihi (excuse any poor te reo, trying hard to learn)

Love it

First day ! Ready to goooooo 😀

This is awesome. Ka pai!

Rawe! Grant.

Kia Ora this is neat kare..xxx

Thank you … I’m a beginner & willing to learn🙂
