I know a bit, can have a basic conversation with someone. I know Dh doesn't like it but I do use a number of words with the boys at home. I come from Ngai Tahu and decend from on of the chiefs that signed the Treaty so I feel it is important for the boys to learn it. I am learning it at Massey as well. Well when I get back to palmy I will be back into it.

I don't know much either.  It wasn't really pushed at school when I was a child but I do know a few rhymes, my colours, some body parts, how to say hello/thankyou, how are you?, my tribe (ngati pakeha - not hard to remember) and a few other commonly used words (kai, moana, aroha, whanau, whenua, kia kaha etc).

I'm working on learning and using it more because I think the moari language is a very important part of our heritage as NZers and I want moari to be as simple and accepted to Michaela as English is so I need to continue using it.  She already knows the body part names in both english and moari, I think we'll start on her colours next.
