A problematic language-learner's tool., March 8, 1999
Reviewer: Alexander (MingLaoChe@aol.com) from Connecticut College
The nearly complete lack of teach-yourself material on New Zealand's Maori language compels me to give the book 3 stars as I believe it is the only one to be found. The linguistic problem is the author's inattention to mark vowel length as well as poorly explaining certain consonants. However, Harawira's use of Maori texts and songs is rather charming. Invest in this book with caution.
