Te+Reo+Maori

There are **fifteen modules** in all and each one begins with an animated movie, which you should watch and listen to carefully several times. You'll meet some new friends in these movies, Te Hererīpene, Mīria, Eruera, Tarati, Wiremu and little Neihana. You are able to add the Māori text and the English translation to the movies so that you can understand and learn the new language you are hearing. Each movie will introduce the new language of the module. After watching and listening to the movie, you should try completing the activities and exercises, which are based on the movie. You'll find these listed on the right of your screen. The activities listed first are easier than those that are listed later but you can choose to do them in any order you like.
