Start freeA free learning stack
- A free speaking app. 4ToSpeak's free plan gives you 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 lessons a day, with every Maori sentence ending in you saying it out loud.
- Free audio. Listen to Maori podcasts, radio, music and video in your free time, even when you only catch a few words.
- A free dictionary and reference. Use them to look up words you meet, not to replace practice.
- A language exchange. Swap time with a native Maori speaker who wants to practise English. It costs nothing but time.

What free cannot do
Free tools get you a long way. Where paid options help is more daily practice volume, one-to-one correction from a teacher and a structured curriculum. For Maori, a tutor becomes more valuable once you hit the harder grammar, so consider one later.
Maori uses the Latin alphabet, so you can read and sound out words from day one.
Is there a free app to learn Maori?
Yes. 4ToSpeak's free plan includes Maori with no card and no time limit. Paid plans add more daily energy and extras.
Can I become fluent in Maori for free?
Fluency comes from many hours of practice, not from paying. Free tools can cover a lot of those hours if you are consistent, and a conversation partner covers the speaking you need to apply it.
What does the free plan limit?
Energy. You get 25 a day, about 3 to 4 lessons. It does not limit the four-step loop or the languages.
Where should I start learning Maori for free?
Start with a few sentences: Kia ora, Ngā mihi. Say them out loud, then build from there.
