Essential Maori Language Lessons For Travelers In New Zealand

If you plan to come to New Zealand, you should know at least a few essential Maori words. You'll hear them used in everyday language, and New Zealand makes a lot of effort to promote knowledge of the language of its indigenous people.

This week is Maori Language Week, aka, Te wiki o te reo Maori.

The Maori language app referenced in the video is called Kia Rere. Here are the download links:

Pronouncing Tewhakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao in New Zealand

Our guide, Girly, teaches us how to properly pronounce the name of her village at Rotorua on New Zealand's north island, Tewhakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao.

I believe the town's names means, The gathering place for the war parties of Wahiao.”

I highly recommend a visit to Whakarewarewa, The Living Thermal Village if you're ever in the area of Rotorua on New Zealand's north island! Although the Maori people in this community have completely opened their village to tourists (including permission to photograph and record) they've done an excellent job of preserving their culture and language. I enjoyed my visit with these people and hope to return again someday.

I have a number of other videos posted on my channel from my visit to New Zealand.

Here's my personal webpage about our trip to New Zealand:
