No joke. I’m a Irish Muslim girl and I’m learning Māori for a book I’m writing. It’s crazy how many people who aren’t Māori in the comments section are learning tē reo Māori❤️ so beautiful. God willing the language will become spoken by all people in New Zealand
I'm maori and I don't know my own language... This gives me inspiration to start learning it, thanks.
TheReporter5000 would love to help if possible. kia ora
Grant Whitbourne how
TheReporter5000 check out the link in my vids to the fb group I run for new starters in te reo. kia ora
Grant Whitbourne ok
Kia waimarie
I am British, live in Berkshire but my whanau and I belong to Ngati Awa, whakatane and I am teaching myself Tē reo Maori. A drop in the ocean but doing my bit.
Tu meke!
Love to watch this awesome tedtalk speech ! wehiki( awesome?)!
we are all just drops in the ocean of Te Reo. A grain of sand might say that it is ONLY a grain of sand, but you will not see it, you only see the vast beach, te oneone.
Tino Ataahua 🥰
Kia ora tatou. I'm from Brazil and I want to learn more of Tē reo Maori... Ka pai tō mahi. Kia pai tō ra!!!
Kia ora Luiz, thank you for helping keep Te Reo alive!
Thats amazing you know some kiwis think maori shouldnt be compulsory
🥰
Conseguiu aprender? To começando agora e seria bom ter uma ajuda local 😂😎
I'm British and have no Māori heritage but I'm currently learning te reo Māori as I love how the words are alike like pāpā and papa and the meanings to things like Aroha mai it's beautiful
I'm German and I'm learning it for my Master Thesis on the works of Witi Ihimaera because I believe learning te reo will help me to better understand his novels.
🥰
A proud fluent speaker.
I write this 4 years after and wonder if Glenis's dream is a step or three closer. We are making progress; main stream TV is more embracing of Te Reo and much more than just Kia Ora. Maori language in 2020 started with 1 million signing up on the Te Reo wiki program. So we are progressing. My mother was from that generation who were discouraged from speak reo - she paints her picture - yes there was punishment (not daily) at school. But her and her siblings were discouraged at home as well by her parents because rightly or wrongly they felt their children stood a better chance knowing english and an english world. Doesn't make it right - but it was how it was. No point in blaming. Today it is our choice whether or not we are Maori to take that step and learn Te Reo. Maori have to step forward and learn it, to be proud of reo. Well done Glenis.
Kia ora whaea...ka tika tō kōrero...kia kaha e te whānau!
I’m Pakeha and Acadien (French Canadian from the East Coast - related to the Cajuns in Louisiana because the British expelled the Acadiens from our land in the mid-1700s and some moved/fled to Louisiana)..
Mai je ne parle pas français bien et la première génération ne parler pas français Acadien.
But I do not speak French well and I’m the first generation to not speak Acadien French.
Tena koutou,
I hear you about losing language. I’m still working on learning French, but it’s not Acadien French. I was taught Parisian French in school when I moved back to Canada from Aotearoa. I’m also working on learning te reo Māori because I want to be able to socialise in both French and te reo - to be part of those million conversations.
Merci
Ngā mihi
You inspire me. I watch this today as proud Maori living in Australia feeling an overwhelming emotion listening to your words. Every single day I take a small step to learn Te Reo Maori.
Who else watching this in 2023 where te reo māori is mainstream on news, in schools, on all government forms, on signs, being learned and spoken, and just everywhere around us 🥰🥰🥰
Currently te matatini is being streamed i am watching it now on channel 2 🥰
To pai hoki! I love the sound of Te Reo Maori in everyday situations. Great korero
Ka mau te wehi Glenis. Shed a wee tear.
Kia ora j4d3 goat, thanks for your observation. Kōhanga Reo and Kura Kaupapa have led an upsurge in te Reo, without those initiatives I believe the language would have disappeared. My point is that we all have a role to play and we can't be passive 'consumers' of Kōhanga and Kura Kaupapa. We have to be active and relentless supporters and speakers of te Reo Māori for it to thrive. Ngā manaakitanga ki a koe. 😊
The Maori race is extinct and the language id dead.
Beautiful encouraging positive speech!
As a white skinned māori I dream of learning te reo to show that just because of your skin colour it doesn’t mean you can’t do it too
You're not a Maori, you are European with a tiny splash of Maori blood.
Kia Ora bro. Kei te kōrero māori koe ināianei?
@@maikij1104 Āe. He iti. Kua haere ahau ki te whare wānanga ki te ako i tōku reo i enei waa
@@maikij1104 bit iffy on my sentence structures but I've got a good grasp of the beginner stuff, am learning the Te pihinga book rght now

wow, you're so right! I'm a pakeha who speaks 3 languages but you have convinced me today to learn Te Reo.. I think there is a feeling among us pakeha that Maori doesn't belong to us.. but we're wrong, actually it's the thing that makes NZ truly unique and we should all be proud of it.
Dylan Jenkins what languages do you know? 3; I'm impressed!
+Grant Whitbourne English, German, Russian. Thanks! I sucked at languages at school but now think anyone can learn if they really want to. We should show people learning Maori isn't that hard!
Dylan Jenkins for sure bro, for sure!
I'm the same, English being my first language then Spanish and Te reo Māori. Not fluently yet and I'm learning Korean too.
Mihi nui rawa atu ki a koe Glenis i tēnei kauhau āu. He rawe tēnei kōrero hei whakamārama atu ki a tauiwi nga aupiki me nga auheke o te ngarohanga me te whakamāuitanga o tō tāua reo. Tō māia hoki ki te kōrero mō āu ake wheako mō te whakatipu tamariki reo Māori. He kōrero me mātua mōhio nga tāngata katoa o Aotearoa, Māori mai, tauiwi mai. Tēnā rawa atu koe.
Kia ora i love your honesty it reminds me of my nans time and my own journey with the reo Cher cher
this was amazing - To pai huki Glenis
That’s my house! Post it notes everywhere 👍🏼😊
We should have te reo instruction for everyone who arrives to live here. MIQ: Maori Immersion Quarantine.
Ka mau te wehi! Such a hūmarie way to address a possible controversial topic in front of many non-Māori in the audience. Another issue I see - my brother-in-law is a kai-awhina at kura, speaking Māori to his children - but as soon as they go home they revert to English - thus creating the te reo Māori is a language for school and not home.
Kia kaha tātou Māori, tauiwi mā.
Why does the Whakatau send shivers through me?
Outrageous, unreal who would ever want to take a language away from an indigenous people.
whakawhetai ki a koutou mo te faaiteraa i. Thank you for sharing. I had to Google translate. I don't know my language it is very sad. My Nana was beaten for using her language so we lost it too. We need it back!
NadiaFitzsimmons kia ora, if you're looking to learn I've got some videos on my channel to help. Ngā mihi
Tena koe whaea I am a young maori girl a have learnt Maori from kohanga reo and we really nead more Maori people to speech our REO (sorry if I spelt wrong I can't spell properly.)
Beautiful koorero Whaea...
Love this! To pai hoki :)
Gibt es Sprachkurse Deutsch --> Maori irgendwo oder auch als guter online-Kurs?
this chicks awesome. hope i see you round welly for some korero
Well, I Know this video is a little old but I really think important the NZ children learn Māori Language. I'm from Brazil and I went to New Zealand for learn more in English and there I have opportunity for met Māori native people, only one. I was surprised how is because language. Well, 2019 New Year and my Plan this year is learn more Māori Language and the culture, probably never I'll use this language but knowledge is never too much. nui ake nga kaikopori Maori.
Did you learn it? :)
My house is starting to look like a yellow sticky paper zone also!
Ae. ehine... ka tautoko au te kaupapa na. Ka korero ai matou te reo rakatira i nga wa katoa. He weramana au. Ka tuhi no mua he weramana re Tiriti o Waitangi. Na reira ka korero ai matou, ka korero ai.
Tō pai hoki!
I start to learn Maori.
Tō pai hoki e te whaea!
He rata tēnei whakaata ki au mō tāku mahi hei whai i tōku tohu paetahi mo te reo Māori. He tino nui te āwhina tēnei mō te whakaora i te reo. Kei te tautoko au i ēnei whakaaro.
Hinepou Waston-TePoono random question to you know Toa?
Zak Henry Te Poono? Yeah. He's my cousin lol
Kia ora
my grandfather is Niuean. I am from London UK but i wanna know more about my ancestry
Your name sounds Eastern European, what's your history, how did your grandfather come to London?
DO WE AS MAORI TAKE THE SAMOAN AND TONGAN AND FIJIAN AN HAWAIIAN REO ALSO ?
I'm a polynesian and I listened to the pakeha and native kiwis go around saying they are learning "Ta Rawl" (te reo) I think there should be a term called "Pakeha Reo" as there is this accomplishment going around like "I passed level2 level3 of my Ta Rowl course" Yet the lack of PRONOUCIATION has not been taught by their so called kaiako's or classroom experts
This is still strong today because Colonisation is still struggling to remove TANGATA WHENUA!!!
And the Lebanese Arabic from their dad?
Damn... that's romantic 0:17
I love Maori Girls

😇😍✌
I believe your vision will happen. In a future time, our people will fight for other people who will in turn speak Te Reo back to us. Totally enjoyed your presentation 😍
Perhaps you could learn Maori?
Ardderchog!
What about the kohanga reo and kura kaupapa? Weren't they supposed to lead to an upsurge in the use of the Maori language?
If so, then given that it's now over 30 years since the first kohanga reo was set up, they and the kura kaupapa have failed.
+j4d3 goat - Maybe they have succeeded: Did you not hear her talk about "the environment" - when the rest of the nation is so anti-Maori, what kid would want to be associated? When the radio and telly stations - which really ARE great resources - are flooded by the non-stop internet from around the world, it's obvious that the uphill battle continues, and those precious resources are way too little, and came way too late... to create an upswing - but maybe just in time to maintain a toe hold. That IS a success.
Did you not hear her at 6:00 "At that time [her first year at school], less than 1% could [speak te reo]." - ?
Now it's about 5%. Sounds like an upswing to me.
So what part of your attitude is helpful to our challenge here? Are you part of the solution, or ... something else?
Someone clearly didn't watch/ listen to the clip properly. It's hard to revive or maintain a language that isn't commonly used or socially accepted in New Zealand. Te Kohanga Reo and Te Kura Kaupapa Maori have done a brilliant job of ensuring our language is kept alive for our future generations. It takes time to revive a language and thirty years is a drop in the bucket, considering it takes hundreds and even thousands of years for language to evolve, develop and adapt. Without them Te Reo Maori would be almost extinct.
j4d3 goat - Several reports now for public review all demonstrate the proactive policies by successive governments to ensure failure of Kohanga Reo and Kura Kaupapa. Funding cuts, interference by mainstream standardisation and successive interventions by Ministry of Education compliance measures irrelevant to māori restoration of language. NZ Ballet received an $8 million dollar budget despite decreasing numbers of audiences while National Performance Competitions audience numbers grew by 50% each year and yet their budget was slashed biannually over a decade. Placing the blame of failure on kohanga and kura Kaupapa is both completely wrong and ignorant of the political realities of language restoration on a national level intergenerationally in the face of continued institutional racism of successive governments. A year has passed since your comment - what did you do to improve te reo māori as your country's nationally treasured language?
Māu te wero
Māku te Mahi
Always got to break into English. The French wouldn't break into English they wood speak French unapologetically. As I understand it Maori is the official language of aotearoa. Maoris should refuse to speak English.
We Maori have lost pur ability to adapt like our great ancestors.
The new generation of Maori are about victimhood, blame and resentment - the exact opposite of our tipuna on their expeditions, on their arrival to a strange, new land and on encountering the mighty British.
Adapt to the conditions of globalisation and capitalism and use it to your advantage, for your tribe, your whanau, yourself.
well! i am adapting, i originaly thought...."ohhh when will all this Reo go away?" answer is, it wont!! soooo, if You cant beat Em join Em. On that pathway of thinking i have enrolled in a te reo class that My Workplace has on offer and have spent many an hour reading and researching Maori culture and History ( i am Maori)
The outcome of this has been....
#-1 i have pretty much failed my reo class, i have had trouble keeping interest.
#-2 most of the culture part of classes have left Me allitle cold.
#-3 The History i have REALLY enjoyed and have learnt ALOT.
#-4 I will be pushing with all My might & power for My two Maori Grandchildren to learn the reo and the culture.
#-5 My Grandchildrens Education and Futures (including Sport) will be Gauranteed and paid for by following Thier Maori Heritage.
I would like to teach English Language for Maori..
Maori can already speak english. you're not needed.
May Ezane J Our first language is English, Its our native labguage, Māori that is forgotten by māori.
Well u need lessons
We must all remember that there is no such thing as Maori only part Maori. Maori are once again falling into the same old ego trap they have always fallen into, this is a European inspired tragedy befalling Maori. This is becoming like an occult following or a religious movement of separatism. Maori must ask themselves as Maori are diluted away to complete non-Maori in percentage will they still be engaging in this destructive behaviour in a thousand years or even fifty years, are we going to see a whole lost generation to this ego trip to nowhere, will the taxpayer be baling out yet another generation out once again
The winz barcode has allowed her to bury her snout firmly in the trough. Te Reo is a 19th century missionary invention, the gramma, syntax and vowel inflection are European and were you to transport in time a Maori from the early 19th century he wouldn't understand a word of it.
Bro, i'll ignore your blatant racism for a moment. Look her up, she has had an awesome career supporting vital projects in New Zealand. Now back to your racism... What does it cost you to just be a bit nicer in life? Yeah, Māori are over-represented in some of the worst areas, but pick up a few history books. Dr Michael King's "History of New Zealand" and "Healing our History" (Constantine) are great reads if you want to check out some of the research as to the historical context as to why this is and what we can all do about it. I'll even give you a spoiler just for free..... ready?.... "Racism doesn't help". Boom, true story. Have the day you deserve brother.
Two races should be one too many hands outs teaching Maori in school before children can speak and understand English what good is Maori language out of nz
Yeah I stopped watching as soon as she said we are trump food
I've decided to not learn maori language because its completely useless and primitive I'm gonna keep learning living languages.
That’s okay not our problem, we don’t idiots learning our language anyways, see ya :)
OMG wiped out out our indigenous heritage..>WTF>> who we..? lol.
Also this woman is a liar regarding the banning of Maori in native schools. It was maori chiefs themselves who marched on parliament and gave a petition to outlaw maori in native schools as the chiefs realized ENGLISH was the language for a BETTER FUTURE.
Lol you’re the liar lol
jesus christ, you don't know your history do you kevin? do us a favour and shut up.
Read the history of our language and our people. You may understand what she is talking about. Its out there!!!
a Maori chief would never agree to a child being beaten for speaking their native tongue. As children are the future leaders our ancesters saw the benefit for children to learn english, but certainly not beating them for being who they are. It was completely mana crushing
Kevin matherest how did you come to that conclusion?
