Rahina 11 Mahuru

Monday 11 September

It's Maori Language week this week. Pronouncing names of NZ places is a big focus. Does your family say them correctly? Think of the places you go on holiday. Listen to the news readers and how they pronounce them.

Mangawhai? Taupo? Whanganui, Tauranga?
 Think about the vowels in English. Use the soft vowels. a for apple, e for egg, i for insect, o for on, u for  the oo in moo, wh for a soft f, tau for toe. And then give it a go!
