The Collins Maori phrase book

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "Many New Zealanders have a smattering of Maori language that they are shy of using in case they make embarrassing errors, or because they fear their vocabulary is not sufficient to complete a sentence or phrase. This book is for all such people, offering a wide range of simple phrases that the speaker can use in a variety of situations and in creative ways."--back cover
