Nau mai - Welcome

Kia ora, I’m Hēmi Kelly — Māori language teacher, translator, author, composer, and resource creator. I’m the Director of Tautika Ltd and the creator of Everyday Māori.

Everyday Māori is about bringing te reo Māori to the tip of your tongue — wherever you are in the world and whatever stage you’re at in your language journey.

I share language learning content on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and co‑host the Everyday Māori Podcast. Through Tautika Ltd, I provide translation services, cultural consultation, and tailored language resources.

Everyday Māori:
Ia rā, ia rā

Everyday Māori: Ia rā, ia rā is a daily journal designed to help you weave more te reo Māori into your life. With 365 undated pages, you can start anytime. Each day offers a kupu (word), a kīanga (phrase), and a whakataukī (proverb), all linked by the same word. This structure supports vocabulary growth and helps deepen your connection to te reo and Māori ways of thinking.

The journal is a space for your own notes and reflections, making it both personal and educational. Whether for yourself or as a gift, it’s perfect for anyone at any stage of their reo journey - grow your reo ia rā, ia rā - every day.
