"Moupiri tikai tā'au i rauka auraka tō'ou korona. Kia riro tēta'i ke"
Hold on to the knowledge and wisdom of your ancestors and never give them up to anyone.
This course is catered towards beginners so we will focus in on pronunciation and basic conversation eg greetings. A big part of the Course is everyone building their own Turanga.
Mama Teremoana is passionate about the individuality of each island, and this is reflected in her classes.
