And if anyone reading this wants to get a better understanding of pronouncing Māori words, it's got some similarity with Japanese. Here's a tip:
a = ah
e = eh
i = ee
o = aw (as in hawk, but not USA's 'hock')
u = oo (as in ew but less of the 'e')
wh = f
The r consonant rolls a bit, so it's like a very soft d sound.
And when vowels are close together they tend to kind of mesh into one, like 'ai' into 'eye.'
So the word whanau (family) is pronounced fah-know, and kaimoana (seafood) is k'eye'-maw-ah-nah. And the Māori word itself is maah-aw-ree, but we'd let you off if you said mow-ree (as in mowing the lawn) because you're at least making an attempt.

In case I'm useless with technology now and the above image doesn't show up, the dog's faced reminds me of the AvocadoAnimations Scooby Doo skit on YouTube.
