Homegrown

Everyday te reo Māori the way it's spoken at home in Te Tai Tokerau. Each lesson takes the key moments from a Māori in a Minute video and turns them into a few minutes of watching, guessing and saying it yourself.

WatchOnly the teaching moments, no fluff.
GuessClips stop so you answer before the reveal.
Use itEvery lesson ends with something to say at home.
