Two Te Reo textbooks

It’s one of the key questions: “What is the best Te Reo textbook to get?”

In searching for recommendations, I’ve come across two that consistently get mentioned.

They also happen to be the most expensive.

The first is Te Kākano, book 1 in the Te Whanake series of textbooks. You can get the textbook bundled with a study guide, but they don’t seem to be for sale at the moment. Perhaps there’s a refresh coming?

The second book is He Whakamārama.

I’m personally using Te Kākano, but that’s because the course I’m hoping to do uses it as a reference for the lower-level courses (which I’m trying to skip).

They both suffer from being pretty old and having some outdated modes of accessing audio files etc, but they’re excellent resources for language learning! My brief skim through what’s available would suggest they’re worth the money.

Of course, check your local library catalogue first.
