Firstly, gratitude to the Land that welcomed my family and I with open arms. I Will never thanks enough to be part of this beloved Land of Aotearoa. Secondly is simple, te reo will be the mother language of my grandchildren and I want to be part of it. At the moment there is only Awanuiārangi who is teaching my first words , she is 2 years old 🙂 Finaly, why not? When I first arrived here I didn't speak any Enghish. I've learning it since then. I learned English with my head, now I want learn Te reo with my heart because te reo , the Māori culture is the soul of Aotearoa. I'm proud to be part of the reo Māori movement.
