I am a mother and a Primary School teacher. My first Language is English. My second language, which I began studying at 20, is Japanese. My third, which I began studying at 30, is Spanish and my fourth will be Te Reo Maori, which I began studying in my forties. I want my six year old son's second language to be Te Reo Maori. I feel this is important for him as a New Zealander to be able to go out into the world being able to speak both English and Te Reo Maori. When I went out into the world at 20 I regretted that I couldn't speak Te Reo Maori. It is such a beautiful, rich, poetic language. It is a taonga for us all to learn and treasure.
Share what you did for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2026.
This will go on to become a showcase of how we celebrate te reo as a nation.
