Summary

He tangata ngākaunui ahau ki te reo Māori, me kī, nā te reo Māori ahau i ora ai. Nō reira, ahakoa he tūmatawhāiti ōku wheako i te ao Māori, otirā, i te ao kaiako, e mōhio pū nei ahau koinei te huarahi e tika ana mōku. Waihoki, nā ngā wheako i wheakohia e au i ngā tau kua taha ake nei, e whakapono ana ahau ka taea te whai pānga atu ki te hunga kātahi anō ka timata ki te ako i te reo, me ō rātou āwangawanga, me ō rātou piere nuku me ngā rautaki whakatika i aua āhuaranga.
