I am ashamed to say I haven’t used my te reo for a very very long time.

I was always having to apologise if people didn’t understand but I would love to see te reo normalised.

Why would anyone be ashamed of being unique in the world? So what if no where else in the world speaks it… it is a part of us, a part of why people come to NZ, it is the unwritten story of NZ that has been passed down through the years
