💫The power of language to bring people together 💫 So awesome seeing these two tāne connect through kōrero i te reo Māori and mandarin! Btw how awesome is it to see tauiwi embracing our reo??!! Te reo Māori is becoming such a big part of our national identity and no doubt it will continue to grow 🌱 It’s always a great time to learn the reo whether you are in Aotearoa or living abroad! The deeper levels of connection that come from speaking the reo are totally worth all the mahi that goes into
