Te reo Māori is a beautiful language which can open doors to a whole world of knowledge/mātauranga Māori. I would encourage anyone and everyone in Aotearoa and beyond to learn te reo Māori - it is unique to our country and is part of our culture. It's never to late to learn. As a Māori I think it's very important we learn about who we are - our culture identity and language - this can be a foundation to give us the strength to succeed in whatever we do. Kia kaha rā tātou ki te ako i te reo Māori hei oranga mō tātou katoa otirā mō ngā uri whakatipu o te āpōpō.
