Kōrero & Conversation Learning Flash Cards

We are encountering more and more contemporary issues and challenges in the current world. Dealing with Covid-19 and other illnesses, has seen our communities becoming disconnected from our physical, mental, emotional and wairua support systems with extended periods of social isolation. As we come through these difficult and unprecedented times, we need friends and whānau, to strengthen the foundations of our relationships and reach out to others. Communication is the key to keeping our communities strong; sharing our ideas with, and listening to the thoughts of people around us allows us to support one another, learn from each other and collectively grow stronger. However, sometimes it can be difficult to find the words to talk about ourselves, our feelings, our challenges, our hopes and our dreams. Sometimes we need a little help to open up and express ourselves.

That’s where Kōrero Mai flashcards can help.
