Ngā hapa reo: Common Māori language errors – Hona Black & Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell

Following on from the bestselling Te Reo Kapekape (2023) and He Iti te Kupu (2021), Hona Black’s new book — co-authored with Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell — is an essential reference for any Māori learner or speaker.

Surging interest in te reo Māori in recent years has led to a range of errors becoming common in classrooms and everyday use, many caused by language interference (following the patterns of English rather than te reo).

This book sets out to correct that trend with easy-to-follow, fun examples of language errors. In six chapters focusing on different types of mistakes, the book directs readers to correct usages, numerous examples, and detailed explanations in both te reo and English.

Ngā Hapa Reo is a stimulating read for anyone wanting to improve their command of te reo Māori, whether language learner or fluent speaker.

Format: This book is a Paper back

Language: This book contains both English & te reo Māori text.
