Download or read book Pronounce Maori with Confidence written by Hoani Niwa and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2003-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book and its accompanying CD-ROM give the basics of how to speak Maori correctly, while teaching a little of the language used in everyday life and has been designed to be as general and easy as possible. After some very simple rules are established, exercise and real-life examples are supported by repetition on the CD. Many New Zealanders find themselves at a disadvantage when they embark on learning Maori language. They must rectify a lifetime of bad habits by 'unlearning' incorrect pronunciation of words. Even the word Maori must be relearned, not to mention countless place names and greetings. In PRONOUNCE MAORI WITH CONFIDENCE, the author recognises these challenges, and guides the student through the basics of pronunciation in a manner that is both instructive and non-threatening. The accompanying CD-Rom reassures the learner that he or she is succeeding.
