He wahine Māori ahau. I teach English at a Kura Māori so Te Reo Māori is the 'norm' for our kura. However, as a second language learner I was actively discouraged from learning Te Reo Māori growing up and following it as a career pathway. For these reasons, I love, value and appreciate our Reo and all efforts to revitalise Te Reo and make it the norm for all of Aotearoa.
