What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

775

 I am not sure if this is the best way, but at this stage, I do enjoy listening to Maori spoken by people like Chris Lowman for whom Maori is not their first language. 

Their pronunciation is not perfect, no doubt. However, their pace is slower and their vocabulary is not as broad. They use simpler grammatical structures, for the main.

Another aspect is that of narrative. I find it intriguing to see how these people have come to learn te reo and embrace Maori culture.
