When starting to learn te reo, continue learning te reo, or drive the learning of te reo for a group of people, whether it be in your whare with your whānau or in your workplace with hoa mahi, it’s worth making a plan - whakamahere reo.

Why am I doing this?
What is motivating me?

Who is involved?
Who am I learning with?
Who is guiding me?
Who am I teaching?
When am I learning?

How much time do I have to commit to learning?
What resources am I using to help me in my learning?
What kind of learner am I?
How do I like to learn?
Audio - audiobooks, podcasts, waiata, reo irirangi Māori
Visual - Whakaata Māori ondemand, YouTube channels, flashcards, apps
Textbooks, books, e-books
Practice speaking with others and yourself

Base your learning around activities you and your group do and/or places you and your group frequent.

Location - living room
Preparation - collect and learn vocab and sentences relating to that area, make sure they are visible and easy to read and follow. Move onto the kitchen next week.

Tēnā koe/kōrua/koutou
Ngā mihi (nui)
Ngā mihi ki a koe/kōrua/koutou
Ka nui te mihi
Ka nui te mihi ki a koe/kōrua/koutou

E te kaikarakia, tēnā koe

Acknowledging and greeting can be a way of expressing thanks, where words like mihi, whakamoemiti, whakamihi, aumihi and mihi taurangi are used. Here are some examples taken from the old Māori newspapers, which can be found if you Google niupepa Māori.

Tuatahi, he whakamoemiti atu nāku ki ngā iwi o te Tai Rāwhiti. E hoa mā, e kore e taea e au te whakamārama te nui o taku whakamoemiti atu ki a koutou - Te Kōpara, 1919.
He nui taku whakamihi ki te kaha o R. T. K. ki te whakamāori i nga kupu nunui ngā tohunga o te iwi Pākehā - Te Toa Takitini, 1926.
E koro, tēnā koe, tēnei ahau te aumihi atu nei kia koe mōu i kaha ki te hāereere ki te tiro haere i ō marae i Aotearoa me te Waipounamu - Te Puke ki Hikurangi, 1900.

Certain kīwaha can be used to express thanks:

Mei kore ake koe
Me kore ake koe hei whakaako mai i a mātou.
Mei kore ake koe hei tohutohu i a mātou.
Nāu i pai ai te hui
Nā koutou i pai ai tēnei rā
Nāu i rangatira ai tēnei hui
E tika ana kia mihia ngā ringawera
Me mihi ka tika ki ngā kaiwhakahaere
