REORUA is a digital companion for learners of te reo Māori.

Not a kura. Not a wānanga. Think of it as your kaitautoko, the thing that sits beside you, nudges you forward, and helps you keep going.

It exists for learners who are trying, practising, getting it wrong, and showing up anyway.

It began with my own journey back to te reo.

I jumped back in through wānanga and by learning alongside other learners, the ones who ask questions, make mistakes, and don’t wait to be perfect. Along the way, I picked up practical tips and patterns that genuinely sped things up.

Then life did its thing. Work shifted, location changed, and committing to regular in-person wānanga wasn’t possible. But stopping wasn’t an option either.

Reo Rua was born.

To be honest, it's a bit of an experiment.

A one-stop digital hub for reo resources, learning tools, and whakaaro that are usually scattered across multiple platforms. Like many learners, I was tired of jumping between apps, documents, bookmarks, and social feeds.

So I began compiling what I was using, not as an authority, but as a learner giving back. Reo Rua reflects what actually helps in practice.

The future of Reo Rua is a collective.

More kōrero. More resources. Podcasts, tools, whakaaro, shared by people actively learning and using te reo Māori.
