Ko te aronga matua o tēnei hōtaka, he āwhina i a koe ki te whakapakari i tō māia ki te kōrero Māori i te ia rā—ahakoa kei te kāinga, kei te wāhi mahi, kei te marae, kei te hapori rānei. Ko tō mātou whāinga ko te hoatu i ngā taputapu ki te whakaputa noa i ō whakaaro i ngā horopaki huhua, me te whakahōhonu hoki i tō mārama ki te reo.

Ka whakawhanake koe i ngā pūkenga ki te aro ki ngā tauira reo matatini ake, ā, ka hāneanea ake te kōrero Māori. Ka whakatutukihia tēnei mā ngā akomanga pāhekoheko, ngahau hoki, mā ngā rauemi ā-ipurangi, ngā wānanga noho rumaki, ā, tērā pea ka whai wāhi hoki ngā haerenga ki ngā tūtohu whenua e noho mātotoru ana te ahurea Māori.

Ko ngā wānanga noho rumaki tētahi āhuatanga pārekareka. Ka whai wāhi koe ki te whakaharatau i te reo Māori i tētahi taiao rumaki, e hāngai pū ana ki te ahurea Māori. Ka uru atu koe ki ngā tūranga maha i roto i tētahi taiao tautoko, hei whakapūmau i te reo, hei whakapakari hoki i tō māia ki te whakamahi i te reo i te ao tūturu.

Kei roto i tā mātou hōtaka pīngore he kohinga akoranga kanohi-ki-te-kanohi me ngā kaikōrero manuhiri, ngā waiata, me ngā pūrākau kia mau ai te ngākau hihiko. Ka tū pea ngā wānanga ki te whare wānanga, ki te marae rānei, kia whai wāhi ai koe ki te mahi ngātahi ki ētahi atu, me te ruku hōhonu ki te ao Māori. Ka wātea hoki ngā akoranga ā-ipurangi pēnei i a OneNote, i a Moodle rānei hei tautoko i ō kokenga.
