If you are learning Te Reo Māori using the Te Ataarangi Method and cusininaire rods, I hope that these flashcards will help you consolidate what you are learning in class.

Lesson 4 – waenganui (in the middle, in between), kei roto (in), kei te taha o (next to)

Please note that my flashcard plugin doesn’t recognize macrons (the tūhoto) so I’ve adopted the old way of doubling the vowel where a macron would normally be present. This just means that you hold that syllable for longer but it doesn’t change the sound of the vowel at all, just the length.

Just tap the flashcards to flip them:)
