I created an Anki deck for food times. You can download it here.

All you need is this list and the phrase Homai ki te thing (Give (to me) the thing) and you can kōrero Māori at your table!

Ka rawe! Awesome!

The list is based on a few resources which I recommend:

The Kupu o te Rā “Food Time” list. This list has sentence examples and audio files for many of the words.
The Māori Dictionary online website. This has audio files for every kupu in the deck.
Te Kākano. It’s the textbook I’ve been working on and I think the way it introduces Te Reo is excellent. And there’s heaps of online media resources (and apparently an app, which I haven’t been able to download…).

Ngā mihi e te whānau.

The Reo Project | Day 157

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.

You’re welcome to follow along.
