LEARN AND SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE AT HOME AND ON THE MARAE
P J writes > We have taught our own kids our own languages ever since mankind first learned to speak - and it didn't cost billions of dollars to do it, we never held the country to ransom and demanded money or anything else, we never put our housing, health and education in jeopardy because we spent vital funding on such a travesty !
We simply taught them to communicate with us and others who spoke the same language.
We didn't do it to preserve our language or demand funding, we didn't do it to grandstand (like petulant children) in courts or other hearings.
It was simply for practicality and communication.
Time this showing-off nonsense was bashed on the head and put to rest.
Learn and speak your language at home and on the marae, in places where it is of use, in the time-honoured fashion of all families and peoples.
