He aha ngā āhuatanga
Not sure where to start? A short adaptive quiz finds your level and drops you in at the right place — no wasted time on things you already know.
Words and phrases resurface at just the right moment — before you forget them. The same science that powers Anki, built into every lesson.
Eight levels from first words to near-fluency, broadly following the progression of NCEA te reo Māori. Fast learners can skip ahead; the path adapts to you.
Beyond the curriculum — karakia, waiata, whakataukī, tauparapara. Language as it lives and breathes, not just as it's tested.
Flashcards, fill-in-the-blank, vocabulary matching, sentence building with visuals, grammar guides, and listening exercises. Variety keeps it fresh.
