We are committed to helping normalise te reo Māori in Aotearoa, and that is why we have included audio assistance for our designs to help learners with pronunciation* if they need. Kia kaha te reo Māori!

*Please be aware that different dialects may have different pronunciation and/or vocab for certain words. If you are unsure, we encourage you to seek out information about your own iwi/rohe (tribe/area) to understand your own mita (dialect) and adjust your pronunciation accordingly if you desire.
