Kia Ora!!
As a New Zealander living overseas and wanting to continue my Māori studies, I have found it very frustrating!!! It feels like there are a lack of resources, especially covering grammar. But I just thought I would share the resources I have found, also if anyone else knows of any more let me know :) Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

Must see!

What a great list, thanks for posting! I don't have any plans to study Maori, but I love just looking at and listening to languages that you don't hear everyday.

AND, I think you've given me my most unusual clip to watch - I never imagined I would watch Spongebob in Maori! :)
