Melville Intermediate - Counting in Maori Part One

This is the first in a new series of videos entitled 'Counting in Maori'.  Maori is a fantastic language to learn how to count in, as it has ten basic numbers which all the other numbers from 1 to 99 work off, so once you've learnt the numbers from 1 to 10 your nearly there.   The new series of lessons are presented by Hayze and Mackenzie, two students from Room Eight, who were also responsible for this years Mihi videos, and furthermore are available to chat with your class using Skype to help tutor you with Maori Language! This video was filmed by Shaylee.  The words will appear on screen but you need to practise the following:

  1. Kia Ora Hayze and Mackenzie

    Tino pai on your video. Can we skype you guys this week so you can teach my class or some of my students. Most of them should know but you can test them!. Maybe we can share some of our Te Reo with you.

    I'm always excited when there is a new video, as I find that my students enjoy them better than mine. I have added this video to our Te Reo page
