A Ha Ka Ma vowels

Kia ora e hoa!

I learned a new way to remember how to say Māori vowels yesterday. "Are there three or two".... a e i o u. What a clever idea. Would love to take credit, but that belongs to Bex. She also taught me that you can learn to say a new word by going backwards. Backwards! 

Māori vowels don't change sound: 'a' will will be 'a'. They can sound a little different when vowels run together, but actually even then the sounds are the same.

Here's a google slide that (I hope) explains this further.
