Description
Fun, user-friendly and relevant to modern readers, Scotty Morrison’s Māori Made Easy is the one-stop resource for anyone wanting to learn the basics of the Māori language.
It’s a complete and accessible guide to learning te reo Māori, no matter your knowledge level.

Written by popular TV personality and te reo Māori advocate Scotty Morrison, author of The Raupo Phrasebook of Modern Māori, this book proves that learning te reo can be fun, effective — and easy!
