Tim Ferriss And The "Golden Sentences" For Language Learning

Can Tim Ferriss' Golden Sentences work with a Polynesian language? Specifically Te Reo Maori, from New Zealand. Difficulties arise when trying to condense a language's grammar into 13 sentences. Especially when said language doesn't share similar cultural viewpoints, or is from a completely different language family. I am of the opinion that these "Golden Sentences" aren't as useful as I initially thought.

I briefly touch on the current "sound" of Maori and provide resources on how I personally go about improving it. I look towards other polynesian languages and old Maori language interviews to try and replicate their sound.
