Indonesian language shares similarities with te reo Māori.

This course will introduce you to Pantun poetry which is an Indonesian form of literature. The pantun’s main objective is to convey a message and can be traditional, political, humorous, or about love. New Zealanders will easily relate to pantun poetry due to its satisfying form of self-expression and use of imagery from nature and animals.
