Instant! Maori

The English-Maori phrase book that’s fun -- and helps you speak Maori in seconds!

Instant! Maori is an easy-to-use phrasebook packed with hundreds of practical and down-to-earth words, sayings and phrases. Using phonetics, it enables readers to speak correct Maori in seconds. The content includes the short and long version of what to say on a Marae (Maori meeting house), how to introduce yourself and family, and heaps of practical phrases you can use every day.

This popular guide also has a sense of humour – sections include how to speak to your pets, a selection of pick-up lines and even provides verbal exit strategies if you find yourself surrounded by gang members!

With Instant! Maori in hand, you’ll be able to ask everything from will you marry me? to does my bum look big in this?, and all with perfect pronunciation.

The print version of this book has sold tens of thousands of copies in New Zealand and internationally, proving to be equally popular with tourists who want to enjoy and understand the Maori language, and language students (young and old) who want to speak their country’s indigenous tongue.

From the same publishers as The Complete History of New Zealand (in less than two hours), the Kindle book that tells the story of New Zealand in a concise, easy-to-read way - and in less time than it takes to watch a full-length movie!
