I was born into a bilingual home; I know that my reo Pakeha became dominant, because that is what we were told to use and forced to use at school. My aunts and uncles would korero in te reo and pakeha, however moving away from my roots, I didn't loose my reo. Being amongst Maori speaking te reo just becomes automatic. It is a joy for me now, that my adult children are learning to korero - not because I forced them, but because they have come round to realising just how important it is to korero because you are Maori. And I especially love the little ditties that were turned into waiata with so much meaning in just a few kupu.
