That is far and away one of the best things I have ever seen on YouTube. It shows the internet as a medium to educate and not just gross out

[fhuture]

First, I would like to thank you for a wonderful comment. Actually, come to think of it, clips uploaded can be educational, depending on what we are searching for. For fun i typed in "Math", and poof.... Math educational clips appeared. I tried "Solar System" and again positive. So, let us all continue to contribute educational clips for the benefit of all :)

Geez - keep going. Bit sad that the explanation was so quick. But it was really cool to hear you talk about he Haka and give some background to the whole thing. Thanks :)

Maori is very easy to learn. For instance, the pronunciation is very consistant throughout the language. The Maori alphabet is made up of:

A, E, G, H, I, K, M, N, O, P, R, T, U, W.

Knowing the vowl pronunciations are important because every word is pronounced in single syllabels, most of which contain vowels. For instance,

'Tumatauenga' is pronounced:

Tu-ma-tau-e-nga.

I don't know of any good references but I could give you some more info if you want.
