Te Kupu o te Wiki – 2016/17

We are again bringing Te Kupu o te Wiki / Rerenga Kōrero o te Wiki to you for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week)… for a year!

Te Kupu o te Wiki - Whāngaihia te Reo

The theme for this year is:

ākina te reo – behind you all the way

which is about using te reo Māori to support people, to inspire and to cheer on.

Register for Kupu o te Rā and you will also receive Te Kupu o te Wiki every Monday.

Want to plan ahead or practise to impress your friends? Here are the kupu together with the sound files (MP3s) and PDFs (as they become available) to put on your wall.
