Scotty is the author of the bestselling language guides Mori Made Easy (winner of the 2016 Ng Kupu Ora Mori Book Award Te Reo Mori), Mori Made Easy 2, The Raup Phrasebook of Modern Mori, Mori at Work and Mori at Home, which was co-authored with Stacey. In 2019, Scotty was awarded the inaugural Te Tohu Krurenga Hau Culture Change award by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Mori, The Mori Language Commission, for his leadership and innovation as a teacher of te reo Mori. Scotty lives in Auckland with Stacey and their three children, Hawaiki, Kurawaka and Maiana.
No waiting for your night class to start, no travelling to the local wnanga or university. Press your te reo Mori button for 30 minutes a day and get yourself to an intermediate standard of Mori language expertise. The book is self-directed. At times you will be asked to log on to a website (www.MaoriMadeEasy.co.nz) to participate in oral and audio activities. Each week follows a general structure beginning with an introductory proverb and a conversation between two characters, Mere and Mka. Their conversation demonstrates the sentence structures that you will learn during the week.
The rest of the week is dedicated to explanations and exercises to assist and reinforce your knowledge regarding the new sentences and vocabulary of the week, culminating with a type of test where you translate what Mere and Mka said at the beginning of the week. The theory is that at the beginning of the week you read their conversation with little understanding of whats being said, but by the end of the week, after all your study and exercises, you are then able to understand what Mere and Mka are saying. A crossword often rounds out the week to reinforce the vocabulary acquired, but to also have a bit of fun! Answers to the exercises are at the end of the book. On some occasions there are multiple answers and constructions possible; the constructions that you are taught are the ones that are given in the answer section. If you are required to write a sentence to explain something (and there is more than one possible answer) or are asked to draw a picture, no answer will be given at the back. Check answers at the end of each section only.
No cheating e hoa m! Scotty Morrison
Some linguists claim that older speakers of Mori are more likely to speak language identifiable with a particular dialect or region, whereas younger speakers of Mori tend to do a lot of dialect mixing, especially those living in bigger cities. This view has some merit with the onus being on the young people to rediscover their own particular dialect if they are not living in their tribal regions. The majority of young Mori speakers are outside their own tribal areas being taught by people who speak a dialect that is not their own. I remember my Mori language lecturer at Waikato University, who was from the Thoe tribe in the Eastern Bay of Plenty region, telling me I was starting to sound like a Thoe even though I am from the Te Arawa confederation of tribes in the Rotorua area. My main focus at that stage was just to learn the language; dialect was irrelevant. If you are fortunate enough to be learning your own dialect, great! If youre not, dont worry! Its possible to learn your dialect at a later stage, and anyway, in my opinion the differences are not huge.
