Nga Hapa Reo Ngā Hapa Reo : Common Maori Language Errors | Hona Black & Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell

With the surge in interest in te reo Maori in recent years, a range of errors have become common in classrooms and the wider world, many caused by language interference (following the patterns of English rather than te reo). This book hopes to fill that gap with easy-to-follow, fun examples of language errors, providing readers with the correct usages, and explanations in both te reo and English. Nga Hapa Reo follows the style and format of Hona's bestselling Te Reo Kapekape: Maori Wit and Humour (2023).

Hona Black (Tuhoe, Te Whanau a Apanui, Ngati Tuwharetoa) lectures on teaching for Maori medium schools at Massey University, Palmerston North. This is his third book about te reo Maori. Hona lives in Porirua with his partner and their son.Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell (Ngati Kahungunu, Ngai Tahu, Ngati Apa) is a Maori language and education consultant for Haemata Limited. He has a keen interest in governance and holds several directorships. Te Aorangi lives in Whakatane with his family.
