Kia Ora, Does anyone know some good places to get started, preferably with talking, reading, structure and grammer?

Also does anyone know what is the most accurate translation of the girl's name Florence in Maori I've googled it and I've seen Puāwai but I don't know if this right.

I'm asking because I'm writing a race for DnD based on Maori culture and language and Florence is the name of the person who suggested Maori.

Tēnā koutou!

Kei te hoahoa ahau i tētahi whakaaro tāku, he whakatakotoranga o ngā kupu Māori e hāngai ana ki te ao furry mō te hui furry o Aotearoa ka tū (pea) i te mutunga o 2027!!

Kia tata te wā o te hui furry ka hanga au i tētahi Slideshow me ngā whakaahua mō te whakatakotoranga nei, ēngari kei te pīrangi au kia whakatiri ngā kupu kua kohikohi au kei kua hē au i te meaning o tētahi kupu!

For those who don't know some of the terminology:

A furry is an anthropomorphic animal (animal with human characteristics), and the furry fandom is a community of people who are a fans of these characters

Fursona is someones anthro character designed to represent themself in an anthropomorphic animal form

Fursuit is a mascot costume that furries wear, like the ones you might see at sports games but of someone's fursona

Dealer's den is cheeky slang for the market that is held at Furry conventions where artists sell prints, stickers, and all different forms of art. I used the term 'rua' for the Te Reo term similarly since I think the play on words is cute :)

Overall just trying to keep this panel simple and trying to provide people easy Te Reo phrases they might start using during the con!!

Ngā mihi mō tō pānui mai,

I need to get some Te Reo Māori movies like the disney ones as physical copies to stop paying for the subscriptions. Anywhere you can download or buy them?

Kia ora!
I'm curious about how people here are learning te reo Māori:
Wānanga / Night classes
Online courses (like Toro Mai or Poupou Huia Te Reo)
Apps (like Pūnaha ReoDrops, Tipu, or Kōrerorero)
Podcasts & Books (like Taringa or Māori Made Easy)
Which method has worked best for you, and what helped you start actually speaking it?

I'm currently doing a software degree, as a assignment I was tasked with making a web project that I feel passionate about and think we need more of.

In school there wasn't much support for learning our reo.. I've always wanted to learn how to hold a conversation in our language, so I made a website so I can learn.

I figure if I can learn from it, maybe others can find some use out of it too.

So I made a free tool for people to learn, it's a living database.. I'll add more over time and have a suggestions and corrections section.

Give it a go, let me know what you think.

Kia ora..

Im on maoriplus, and found out they have Avatar The Last Airbender season 1 in māori!!! I wont lie, this made my entire year! Im so sublimely happy right now. They dont have season 2 or 3 yet. I called the maoriplus number (all the way from europe. I dont know how much this is going to cost me but i dont care) and a lovely person called Richard told me they'd mail me with news.

Does anyone know if season 2/3 in the works in māori? This would be amazing.

Ngā mihi!
