Te Reo Māori

He aha ai i pai ai ki te kōrero Maori: Here are some quotes from tamariki on why it is cool to korero: Ko tōku reo, ko toku ohooho- my language is my awakening- Na Te Oi
He kākano ahau- I am a seed born of greatness- Lucy
He pai ki te korero na te mea he pai ki te rongo- it's good to speak because it is great to hear- Na Miro
He pai ki te korero- it's great to korero- Analijia
He pai ki te mohio ko wai koe- it helps you understand who you are- Na Tanisha
He tamaiti kaha e au ki te tū māia, tū rangatira- it helps me stand strong, and be proud of who I am _ Na Abel
Ko te mana o te tangata ko te reo- the strongest thing for people is language- Na Heidi
Ko te mea nui o tenei Ao- ko te reo o nga tupuna- the biggest thing in this world is the language of our ancestors- na Karama
He tamaiti e au ki waho- he rangatira e au ki roto- on the outside I am a boy, on the inside I am a chief- Na David
Tino kaha e matou ki te menemene i te wa korero- We smile lots when we hear the language- Na Kayzian
He pai ki te korero- It's good to korero- Na Te Ngahuru
Tau kē ki te kōrero- It is awesome to speak Te Reo- Na Neihana
He mea nui ki te tu, me korero i te reo, me tu kaha- It is a proud thing to stand and speak in Te Reo- standing strong- Na Kawhia
That is why it is cool to korero!
Check out some waiata we recorded with music in the background!
