Te Reo is a beautiful language but also embodies the maori world view and maori culture. Having Te Reo spoken early in life and continuing through keeps the New Zealand language alive.
I know how language can thrive when immersion is able to happen. My son and his lovely French wife live in Norway. Everyday they and my two young grandchildren converse in French, English and Norwegian depending on who they are conversing with. I would love to see Te Reo spoken in everyday life.
