I now try to pronounce Paraparaumu , Kapiti and Otaki correctly. I wish we had been taught correct pronounciation when I was at school all those years ago. I do not think I will ever be able to hold a conversation in Maori but would like to learn the names for things, i,e. flowers are putiputi, book is pukapuka. I am loving Stacey Morrisons pukepuka My first words in Maori.
