Melville Intermediate - Counting to 100 in Maori

Firstly, before you watch this video, make sure that you've watched video one and two in the series.  The first video teaches you basic counting from one to ten in Maori.   The second lesson in this series focussed on the absence of 'teen' numbers from Maori counting and covered how to get to twenty five.   This lesson covers the numbers from 25 to 99.   Its presented by Mackenzie and Hayze and was filmed by Shaylee.  Filmed at Melville Intermediate 13th May 2011.

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:

In this new series of videos Ora and Kaea take you through the process of counting in the Maori Language. In the Maori language the key numbers are one through ten (which the video for will be uploaded tomorrow). There are no 'teen' numbers like in English so 'Eleven' is ten plus one. This is explained by the students so listen carefully to the pronunciation. Filmed at Melville Intermediate on Tuesday 14th December 2010.

Melville Intermediate - Count to 1000 in Maori

This is the final lesson in our Maori counting series - with this you can count from 100 to 1,000 using the Maori Language. This ties in with the other three videos in the series and will allow you to count all the way to a thousand! Filmed at Melville Intermediate School on Wednesday 10th June 2009. Presented by Arahia and Vitolina.

Melville Intermediate - Counting in Maori

One of the biggest successes in 2009 in terms of Google Searches has been Arahia's Learn to Count in Maori series. We'd thought that now would be a good time to publish the final video and link them all together through one post. The lessons start off with counting from 1-10. The second video is counting from 11 to 99. Thirdly of course we have counting from 100 to 1000 (this is the video that's just been added and has been 'missing') and finally the fourth video in the series is focussing on the numbers from 1000 onwards. This series has been written, produced and filmed by the students themselves! Its using the culture of the students in a very positive way and improving and increasing the use of Te Reo Maori by people around the world.
