Cultureflow Stage 1 Content

Te Kete Tuatahi
Our Stage 1 course, Te Kete Tuatahi, uses conversations to engage different types of learners and achieve fast results.

The aim is to provide a structured, self-paced programme that can be delivered electronically as part of a distance training programme or taught through the more conventional face-to-face approach.

It is for anyone who is interested in learning the basics of te reo Māori and it is a valuable resource for in-house training or people unable to attend classes.

Stage 1 support resources include:

Written workbook
Audio CD-ROM with waiata
Interactive CD-Rom
Maui's Spell computer game
