The first language of Aotearoa should be te reo. I am learning or re-learning the language but am finding it difficult to find intuitive resources to improve reading and translation skills. For example, te reo is not a featured language on any of major language app platforms. Most resources are are stuffy, academic and at times, religious, with outdated language and usage. Also, we must focus on the language, and not think that singing a song, or memorising a karakia is progresss, we must create pathways to fluency (spoken, reading and writing).
