When i heard my first kupu maori " haramai ki konei " come over here

Steve

I was born in India, brought up learning 2 languages in addition to English, but i always was terrible at languages. So, I always had reservations about using any language which I'm not familiar with. Probably this week for the very first time i started my email with 'Morena'. And i feel good about making that start and am hoping to continue in that direction. I don't have any prejudice against any language but feel ill-equipped (not confident) putting other languages into day-to-day use. In fact I love the Maori language, my radio will be blasting at full volume whenever there's a Maori song on air. Love Tena Ra Koe / Thank You by Stan Walker.
