I am a Primary School Teacher in Aotearoa so I have a responsibility to use Te Reo Māori in my classroom, and around our kura, as much as possible because it is the indigenous language of Aotearoa. I need to try and make up for the teachers from the past who caused so many tamariki and whānau to lose their language.
Also, I am Pākehā but my hoa tane and 3 step-children are all fluent Te Reo speakers so I want to be able to speak Māori with them.
