Learn Cook Islands Māori

• Lesson 99 - Alphabet (Southern Cook Islands)

  Alphabet: A, E, Ng, I, K, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, V. Māori pronunciation: A, E, Nga, I, Ke, Mo, Nu, O, Pi, Ro, Ti, U, Vi. A rough guide for English speakers, listen to how I say it and follow along to pick out the pronunciations: Ahh, Egg, Winger, Idiot, Cake, More, Noose, Oar, Pea, Row, Tea, Foot, V. It's tough to teach using these words, but hopefully you hear the Māori pronunciations within these English words.

Hosted by Charlie Charlie and Tom Harrison who both grew up in Aitutaki and have collective ties to the islands of Rarotonga, Atiu, Mauke, and Pukapuka.
