I've written a new blog post summarising my te reo learning progress in the past month, and shared my small goals for the next month.

> "The main problem I’ve had this month was consistency in doing listening and reading immersion. Even though I find them enjoyable, other things take up my free time and I didn’t spend as much time as I want to."

100 days ago, I made a commitment to learn te reo Māori. Now, I've published a blog post to explain my approach and progress so far.

Learning te reo Māori
A mix of grammar study, digital flashcards and 'Comprehensible Input'.

Māori Made Easy is a great resource, but due to all the other things I've been putting time into to learn #TeReoMāori, my 20 minutes of MME end up completing two or three day's worth each time (I also read most out loud). For normies, it says it takes 30 minutes per day.
And this is a good thing - it speeds me through it so I get to more challenging things while still ensuring I practise these basics. I'm on W15 of the book after 7 weeks of study 😂

Audio in #Anki !!

I can save the audio files of words from kupu.maori.nz or Te Aka and add them to my Anki deck so each repetition it autoplays them and I can make sure I pronounce them correctly.

#LearningTeReo

So I'm finally doing almost daily journalling, a habit I've wanted to do for ages - all because of my #TeReoMāori study! I can put together simple sentences in all tenses, so my writing practise is translating those short diary entries into Te Reo. I use Te Aka for new vocabulary and a couple sources to help with grammar I'm not sure about.
I then read several of them aloud, to practise pronounciation but also just getting used to the language.

We need to reconnect. In the nearly two years since Elon destroyed our communities some of us (me) have become complacent.

#LearningTeReo (& #KiaOraMovement people), kei te pēhea kōtou katoa?

I’ve been mainly using the Kōrerorero app, & I’ve labelled some items in the kitchen so I remember to use the words. That’s been helpful.

But I’d forgotten all the Māori language podcasts I optimistically subscribed to…some time ago 🤔 (search your podcast app for “Māori”. So many podcasts & what have I learned? Nothing. Bc I didn’t listen to any - yet).

I’ve also put a few te reo Māori Christmas songs onto the music list.

I'm in like tui!! I started Papa Reo through the Waananga this year. It is hard going and you lot of wonderful tangata Tiriti and tangata whenua peeps might help with that here :laserkiwi: #LearningTeReo

@heyrochelle @jeremy_list

Thanks Rochelle & Jeremy.

For any #NZTwits or #NZPol fans who are curious, this explains the functionality of the Kōrerorero app.

I will download this now to help me continue on my #LearningTeReo journey.

Hey, any #NZTwits doing #LearningTeReo might also like to check out the Kōrerorero app from AUT.

I don’t think it got a mention last night, partly bc I forgot I had it on my phone 🤦🏻‍♀️

@jeremy_list

I had the Kōrerorero app on my phone & completely forgot about it 🤦🏻‍♀️

What a great start - thank you for reminding me! I think other people might want to try it out too.

I absolutely suck at learning languages for some reason, but I've been giving Maori a go lately and I'd love to have some company for that! I'm in :)
Well, keen to try, but not expecting much. Brain has holes where languages are concerned!
Hundredth time lucky?

Like many pākehā here on Mastodon, I am very wary of appropriating Te reo Māori or appearing to be anything other than a complete newbie. I am also very wary of 'seeking redemptive attention', a wonderful phrase used by Alison Jones in her book , 'This pākehā life: an unsettled memoir'. (See link below). That being said, I will use only the Te reo Māori place names from now on. And maybe we should use #AoPol as well.

Pōmārie, e te whanau. I’m off for the night to wind down before bed. Mā te wā.

If you’ve already learned anything from some basic te reo & tikanga, or if you’re fluent & want to join in (or anywhere in between) you’re welcome to come hang with the uncool kids.
