I just heard this for the first time and you had me ugly crying the entire waiata. Te haerenga ki ngā Reo i tīmata ki au i Maramatoru. I just wanted you to know that i heard it at a time I'm struggling in my haerenga & hearing this is exactly what i needed in this moment. Te ataahua ki ngā kupu. He taonga ki tō Waiata koe.

[@brynejordan2877]

Kia ora to those in Aotearoa, aroha from the hills of West Virginia, USA. I’ve been attempting to learn Te Reo Maori…. I can halfway pronounce some words ( and I immensely apologize if I have misspelled or misused any words, it’s a difficult language to learn as an English speaker). The language just resonates on a level that I can not explain. I am fascinated and deeply respectfully to the culture. Some people say they were born in the wrong era, I believe I was born on the wrong continent. Aroha to Aotearoa.

[@Alexis-ei7ku]

Kia Ora, Nga mihi for your kind words but I just wanted to tell you, it’s possible to become Maori besides being born into it 😊 Māori is a way of life & it’s own world view. The language is so distinct & rare, I think it stirs something deeply primal to Pakeha’s Wairua. (Non Māori’s spirit) You’re doing so well! Keep it up 🔥 Pro tip is; our vowels are pronounced differently to how English is pronounced. Please don’t be offended but I taught my son those vowel sounds via Takaro Tribe on YT. It’s a Māori kids show but super insightful 🫶🏽 my nan was a kohanga reo teacher who helped revive the Reo through children. They based a lot of current curriculum from hers & others works. Also Gisborne’s mayor is of Asian descent & speaks fluently haha! It makes me proud to be Māori 💯 Haere Mai x

[@brynejordan2877]

Thank you so much, I will definitely watch that show. I need all the help I can get. I’m starting from scratch. Also please the next time you go to your marae, let them know that your efforts to spread your tikanga have not gone unnoticed nor unappreciated. Thank you for your time and patience. Aroha from the hills of West Virginia.

[@brynejordan2877]

Out of curiosity, did I word that correctly?

[@brynejordan2877]

Kia ora, I hope you see this. I’m so happy to say that a member of the All Blacks digital media team contacted me and I very well might be in a video that they want to put out about fans of the team from around the world. I made sure to write your screen name down so I could tell the gentleman about you and a few others that have helped me in learning about your country and culture. Aroha from the hills of West Virginia. And thank you from the depths of my heart for allowing me a chance to learn from you.
