Learning te reo maori has been a massive journey. Sometimes testing, but mainly rewarding. Reo has helped me on my journey of whakapapa aswell. Being a whangai baby, I had a huge feeling of Ko wai au? No hea koe Erana? And with these questions, came the start of my journey into Te ao maori. I am currently signed up to TWOA doing my papa reo course, and I will carry that on until I am speaking fluently to my tamariki. Te reo maori is also important for myself, for my tamariki! Knowing who they are, where they whakapapa from, not feeling left out when being spoken to in reo maori aswell. I am a proud maori women, who looks forward to seeing where our language ties us all in the future! ! Kia kaha te reo maori Aotearoa 🤍❤️🖤
