Description
The Kuwi & Friends Maori Picture Dictionary 2 (He Papakupu Whakaahua 2) is a fun, easy-to-use resource for those wanting to discover, learn and use everyday words in te reo Maori. Beautifully illustrated to support comprehension and language retention, the visual cues are especially helpful for younger learners as they connect spoken and written kupu (words) with the colourful imagery.
Building on the much-loved, multi-award-winning first papakupu (dictionary) in the series, this second book introduces the next level of learning with more advanced themes, vocabulary and language concepts. It includes a wider range of kupu, including states, verbs and describing words, as well as themes and events important to the history of Aotearoa. Designed for everyday use, in the whanau (family), kura (school) and for all New Zealanders.
