ESCP – Old and New

Here are some Maori words and their pronunciation that I thought were useful for the ESCP course.  You can find a list of 100 words and phrases (and lots more information) from: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/culture/tereo-100words

  1. In a group of 3 or 4 students, click on all the words below and listen to their pronunciation.  Try to mark the stressed syllable in each word.  See if you all agree.
  2. Choose one in your group who will click on different words randomly and all the rest identify the word or phrase you hear.

  • Haere mai! Welcome! Enter!
