Is Maori difficult to learn?
A9. Basic conversational structures in Maori are not difficult to learn, though, as with all languages, there are aspects of the structure of the language which require more effort to learn as familiarity with the language increases. But Maori does not have the grammatical complexity that we find in some of the languages further afield in the Pacific to which it is related. Today thousands of people speak Maori as a second language; these are mainly native speakers of English.
