I am not Tāngata Whenua but Aotearoa is my home. Te Reo is one of New Zealand's 2 official languages. It is in wide usage with place names and personal names and also with words in Te Reo which have come into common use. It is a beautiful language and I wish to be able to pronounce it correctly for a start. More than that, I would like to be able to have a conversation in Te Reo rather than just a basic greeting. I have wanted to learn for years. Now, finally, in my 60's I have that opportunity, that honour , and I am grasping it with both hands.
