111. Te whakamahere reo (Language planning)

Everyday Māori

When starting to learn te reo, continue learning te reo, or drive the learning of te reo for a group of people, whether it be in your whare with your whānau or in your workplace with hoa mahi, it’s worth making a plan - whakamahere reo.

• Why am I doing this?
• What is motivating me?

• Who is involved?
• Who am I learning with?
• Who is guiding me?
• Who am I teaching?
• When am I learning?

• How much time do I have to commit to learning?
• What resources am I using to help me in my learning?
• What kind of learner am I?
• How do I like to learn?
• Audio - audiobooks, podcasts, waiata, reo irirangi Māori
• Visual - Whakaata Māori ondemand, YouTube channels, flashcards, apps
• Textbooks, books, e-books
• Practice speaking with others and yourself

• Base your learning around activities you and your group do and/or places you and your group frequent.
• Activity - Eating dinner
• Preparation - collect and learn vocab and sentences relating to that activity, make sure they are visible and easy to read and follow. Move onto breakfast the next week.
• Location - living room
• Preparation - collect and learn vocab and sentences relating to that area, make sure they are visible and easy to read and follow. Move onto the kitchen next week.
