Important note

Ako Tahi is not a translation app. You can’t type any word or sentence and receive a full translation. The app contains a curated library of predefined phrases, and search results only show what exists in the app.

Dialect and translations

Ako Tahi uses the Ngāpuhi dialect (Te Tai Tokerau / Northland). We acknowledge dialect differences across Aotearoa, and our translations into the Ngāpuhi dialect are best-effort. We are supported by whānau and fluent speakers who help review and improve phrases over time, to keep the content as accurate and consistent as possible.

We hope this app supports your Te Reo journey.

Ratings and reviews

This is an absolutely amazing app, it has taught me so much absolutely loved it and recommend anyone wanting to brush up on their Reo or want to learn some simple sentences this is the app for you. Fantastic well done to the creators. I hope they're going to develop it a little more add some more words sentences so forth. if I might make a suggestion one good idea would be to add a feature where by you could slow down the sentences a little if you needed to that would be cool

amazing great for teachers who need help with pronunciations and reading Te Reo Maori. also I love tat it's free.

so far I thinks its awsome and the voice pronounceation is really good and easy to follow

What’s new

Fixed a crash that occurred when adding phrases to favourites from the following 5 categories: Food and Cooking, Hobbies and Leisure, Holiday, Sports and Historical and Cultural Values (at the bottom of the category list). Adding favourites from cards within these categories now works as expected.
