Kupu o te wiki rua
I saw this in the Guardian and it resonated with me as to how I feel about Aotearoa and te reo.
"iti ōku toto Māori, engari ko Aotearoa te whenua i whakatipu mai i a au". I don’t have any Māori blood, but Aotearoa is the land that raised me.’”
I am moving to recording slides to try to include audio alongside writing te reo.
The plan is to listen back at a time when I have improved and have a chuckle at where I have come from.
Also found this new app which I quite like for its local content.

Tips from the Blogger team: If you want a full-screen background, we recommend using an image that's 1800 pixels wide and 1600 pixels high, so that the background image can fill the entire screen even for the readers with large monitors.
