Normalise it, use, it, hear it Gemma Stewart and Hana O’Regan share a kōrero on the revitalisation of te reo Māori, and how this has impacted culture, historically and today. They talk about the challenges of normalising te reo, noting if you “build stepping stones with words” you can “erode the fear factor”. Listen to the podcast The importance of fun “Start in your heart.” Gemma Stewart and Rebbecca Sweeney talk about the importance of knowing your “why” when learning te reo Māori. They also note that positive experiences create positive attachments, so it’s helpful to approach learning te reo “with the mindset of having fun with it”. Listen to the podcast Learn te reo Māori online Te Reo Puāwai Māori provides learning modules that support you to learn practical te reo Māori for use in your everyday life. Registrations are now open for 2023.
