You won't get a high position speaking only Māori. A different perspective, Rarotonga Cook Islands.

A mama from Arorangi was sewing and selling her ei at Punanga Nui Market. It was interesting to hear her perspective on wanting to learn English first, before her own language, of Māori.
Join the boys from Kuki Learning whose aim is keep the Cook Island's Māori language alive, by sharing it worldwide. Hosted by Charlie Charlie and Tom Harrison who both grew up in Aitutaki and have collective ties to the islands of Rarotonga, Atiu, Mauke, and Pukapuka. They now reside in Aotearoa and make the odd trip back home regularly. Feel free to send topics you'd like them to teach via email at [e-mail]
