  • Te Reo Journeys
    May 20 2025

    In this episode, we dive into our own Te Reo Māori journeys—going right back to the start. Our paths may look different, with varying levels of fluency and confidence, but we share a lot in common too: reo anxiety, shyness, and the impact of language deprivation.

    We kick things off with a fun game to get the reo flowing and share a handy kīwaha o te rā you can use in everyday kōrero.

    At the end of the day, Korero is all about creating a safe space to talk, laugh, and learn—together.
