Kia kaha te Reo Māori! Lets make the Māori Language strong! Kua tae mai te wiki o te reo Māori 2019. Jen keeps Tessa positive and the Stacey and Scotty shoutout comes early this week.

Nau mai haere mai e hoa mā. We've changed things up a little i tēnei tau. Our poto episodes are now a mix of kōrero with some regular segments that we hope you'll get to know and love. I tēnei wiki we kōrero about kai in kids play, and Tessa has her Tīpako Pukapuka (librarians choice). Homai tō whakahoki kōrero e hoa mā!

I tēnei wiki we kōrero with Melissa Farrell a primary school teacher and moko of one of the Kōhanga Reo founders. We talk about how Te Reo Māori is actually already compulsory in schools and how we need to get on to solutions to growing the Reo rather than working out where to place blame.

I tēnei wiki here's a great kōrero with Amiria Puia-Taylor, People Weaver and one of the driving forces behind The 312 Hub in Onehunga. It's mainly just Amiria sharing all her amazing whakaaro and Jen and Tessa trying to not be overwhelmed in the presence of this total Kuini.

This week our kōrerorero is all about the complexities of pepeha, as in who should do it and what you include. We share our extremely non-expert opinions and ask whether Pākehā should even do a pepeha at all. Auē!

Carrying on the tradition of accidentally having the same topic as our Rangatira 'Taringa' podcast, this week's Poto is on translating and the difficulties of changing pākehā ideas in to Māori Whakaaro.

I tēnei wiki i kōrero māua ki Beka Bristow. We talk language planning, pronounciation and elevating Te Reo Rangatira, Te Reo Māori.

A poto Poto ep this week. Jen recounts her mistakes using i and ā and Tessa confesses to missing her first week back at Kura Pō. Plus many pātapa (tangents) on the way.

Pāia! We're back!! I māuiui a tamāhine o Jen, engari, everything is kapai now. Just in time to sneak a quick kōrerorero about Matariki. We kōrero about the fantastic Dr Rangi Matamua and his essential contribution to growing our knowledge around Matariki, and discuss the tohu of all nine stars. E rere atu ana ngā mihi i te wā o Matariki hunga nui.

This week the Kōrerorero hosts chat to Leroy Paul, Physical Education Kaiako and member of Te Manu Huia. Leroy talks about his love for his Nan and her influence with his Reo and his hopes for his tauira and the future of our Reo.

A tēnei wiki Tessa and Jen kōrero about the A/O Categories. There's a few tangents and confusion along the way, much like our reo learning journeys. This weeks fangirl moment - Quinton Hita from Māori in a Minute.

Kim Tairi, head librarian at AUT, joins Tessa and Jen i tēnei wiki. Kim moved back to Aotearoa recently after living in Australia for most of her adult life. She shares her insights tuning in to te reo Māori after an extended period away. And it wouldn't be a Kōrerorero ep without a Stacey Morrison fangirl moment!!

In this short episode Jen let's us in on her top 5 Reo Māori songs right now (it changes weekly). Check out if your favourites are included and if not, add them to the Kōrerorero collaborative playlist.

Our latest Patapatai subject is a wahine with a real commitment to tautoko the reo and all things Māori. Her website 'Wai Ako' is a new development to tautoko the reo in kura tuatahi (primary school). We kōrero about the long reo journeys people undertake, how disheartening and damaging shame can be, and much more.

Briar Cornwall chats with Jen about the history of poi, giving us a short introduction to how we got to the poi we use today.

This week Jen sings us 'Ko Te Timatanga o Te Ao, the Māori Creation Song, and tells us a little about what it all means. Tangents include her pesky dishwasher and Tessa's love of Kura Pō.

Our first patapatai is with Zane Catterall. We hear all about his varied reo learning journey, his insightful older brother and we fangirl (and boy) hard out over Stacey Morrison.

Kōrerorero, he kōnae ipurangi hou. A new podcast sharing the stories of our Te Reo Māori learning journeys. Co-hosts Jen Wilson and Tessa Stubbing introduce themselves and the podcast and share their dreams of normalising Te Reo Māori.
