Look no further.

My favourite is Taringa, put out by Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

I’ve been dipping in and out of this podcast for the last couple of months, and yesterday my brain finally clicked into gear and I could hear the kupu, or more specifically the individual sounds that make up the kupu.

I still can’t understand much of the kōrero Māori, but having a bilingual podcast (with the occasional full Te Reo Māori episode) has helped balance out the book-focused study I’ve been doing so far.

An honourable mention should also be made to Kōrerorero. I only listened to a couple of episodes before culling back to just one podcast, and this nearly made it through.

The Reo Project | Day 146

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.

You’re welcome to follow along.
