A language is an element through which a culture expresses itself, therefore keeping a language alive is essential to keep a culture alive. As a bilingual person and an immigrant in Aotearoa I understand how a language is a key element to understand how other people think, act and view the world. Learning te reo māori is a way for me to connect more deeply to the culture and the citizens of this country. It's a way to be better integrated and to expand the ways I see the world.
