Yesterday marked the start of Mahuru - MÄori Language Month. I challenge you to Kia Kaha Te Reo MÄori - Have a go at using MÄori Language. Sadly, we only have 3% of fluent speakers of Te Reo, a language that is native to us here in Aotearoa. You could start small; even if it is just changing from saying Hello to Kia Ora (Key or-ra) or See you later to Ka Kite (Car key-tear). Iāll try and support you with the pronunciation and give some phonetic pointers to help you out. One cool site Iāve stumbled across is MÄori...
