I started learning Te Reo Maori from Toby Rikihana about 50 years ago. I also went to Takarangi King’s classes at Takapuna Grammar. I then took Te Reo Maori classes to Stage 3, at Canterbury University with Frederick Aniwa Te Rakuraku. I believe strongly in relearning this beautiful Reo now, in the hope that I can encourage others to do the same. We use quite a lot of Te Reo at home already. I feel that us pakeha need to become as fluent in Te Reo Maori as Maori did in English (in just one generation). It’s the one sure way for our cultures to begin to communicate honestly, humbly and with respect for each other. ❤️
