We are delighted to let you know about the in-person Te Reo classes being run here in London, during the autumn semester! “We currently have two in-person classes on offer. Both classes will run for 8 weeks, from 18:30 to 20:00 every Tuesday, starting on the 10th September, running through to Tuesday 29th October. We have kept the cost at £80 per person, in alignment with the Summer Programme. We aim to provide safe places where you can learn te reo in a fun, relaxed environment. The two courses are as follows: 1. Beginners class using the Te Atarangi method This class is suitable for beginners who may have an understanding of some basic concepts of Te Reo such as: ko/au/ia, numbers, te/ngā, colours, perhaps an understanding of tēnei/tēnā/tērā. 1. Intermediate class This class caters for those who can know how to construct basic sentences in Te Reo all the way through to those who are semi-confident speakers. The goal of this class is to help those of us in Rānana become more confident speakers both conversationally and on the pae.
