It's important to me because I was born in New Zealand growing up in small towns and being aware of Maori culture and Te Reo from a young age. I have fond memories of marae visits and Te Reo lessons during previous employment enjoying waiata, finding out about local history and the generous hospitality. My son is now at school learning Te Reo and waiata in his class. He is picking it up fast and I want to be able to join in and take part and help him if needed. I'd also like to be able to say simple phrases and become more confident with Te Reo. E noho ra.
