Hika Explorer

At Hika, we believe the Māori language is a beautiful, precious treasure for all New Zealanders.

It’s a language to embrace, cherish and pass on to your children and mokopuna (grandchildren). The word ‘hika’ can be used to describe the first flicker of the flame that kindles a fire. The ‘Hika’ experience will enlighten and illuminate your knowledge and understanding of language.

“Learning another language is a journey into the unknown and Hika is like a lamp to light your way and a roadmap to keep you on track”.
